sub frame question

[dori_sil8t]

im putn in my solid mounts in sometime soon. now the brackets that come off the front part. i guess you could say brackets (held on my 2 12mm's bolts and the 17 for the sub frame) are they really that important to put back on? i snapd two bolts one on each side.. one in the driveshaft tunnel and the other beside the jack point.??

I really don't think that they are THAT important, but you should put them back as I doubt nissan would have wasted money on a bracket that does nothing.

No really though. If you're going to do it, do it all the way. That's my motto anyway. Extract them bolts :hammer:

ya.. i had a transmission bracket bolt break.. I tack welded a nut on that bitch and it came right out.. no damage to the thread or anything.. Or easy-out can work too..

I'd replace the bolt, but if you can't it's not going to hurt too much. The subframe stud is the main concern.

thanks for the help guys im going to put em back in anyways.

From what I can tell the two L-brackets that bolt to the front part of the rear subframe are for dispersing load for those two front subframe bolts. I'm sure it's not a big deal.

Really I've always considered them just really convenient lift points. :p
