Replacing Rear subframe
Hello there!
I have a 1996 3.7 FWD. Its just failed its MOT after a hole was found in the web od one of the mounting points on the rear subframe. While I have been able to get it welded, I think long term I am going to have to replace it. While I am doing it, i might as well replace the suspension arms etc. I am after a bit of help. Can anyone do any of the following? 1. Give me an exploded view of the rear suspension with part numbers. 2. Recommend a supplier for new rear suspension parts. 3. Recommend a supplier for new/good used rear subframe. Any help would be appreciated.  Martin woodshed_k12@hotmail.com

Martin,
For a replacement rear subframe the www.a8parts.co.uk is the only place to go. For new suspension components try GSF. For exploded drawings:    HtH CtL
