Fixing a HACK JOB “Repair” On A Toyota RAV4 Subframe
Unfortunately someone in the past had damaged the subframe on my mom’s 2016 Toyota RAV4 and didn’t bother to fix it properly. The mount for the passenger side rear lateral arm was pushed through the subframe, sheering the mount and turning the poor subframe into a paperweight. Whoever “fixed” the car last welded the lateral arm and lateral arm mount together very poorly, and made the car very unsafe to be in on the road. In this video, I’ll be repairing the car properly by replacing the subframe, lateral arms, and the hardware that was welded.

    @MikesMercsandothercars 10 місяців тому

    Hi - you made that look easy! Did you need to bleed the rear brake lines? If so, how did you do this? Similarly....did you need to bleed the hydraulic suspension after changing the accumulators? How is the consumer battery in the back of the car - does it run down quickly? Sometimes the battery control module can have issues...especially if anybody has ever made the mistake of disconnecting the front battery before disconnecting the consumer battery, hooking a battery charger directly to the front or rear battery....or worse still trying to jump start from the rear battery. Good luck with this resto. Mike

    Even though I don't like the way it was originally "fixed", I don't think that arm provides any additional safety. That arm is just to provide the right geometry. The trailing arm, the lower control arm and the shock absorber are the main bearing structures of the rear suspension. Glad that you replace the whole subframe

    • @OnlyKelp
      @OnlyKelp 10 місяців тому

      This arm controls the rear toe angle. My thought is that if the weld breaks loose on the highway, the wheel could toe out sharply. At speed, I feel like it could cause some damage. Such as losing control of vehicle and causing an accident. Either way, I agree with you, I’m glad it has a new subframe too.
