- Taking out the subframe from out MK4 GTI track car! Was in major need of new bushings, and a fresh coat of paint!
A fairly easy removal, specially if you have a second set of hands!
Happy modding everyone!

Thanks dude. I will be looking for the next stage/episode of this journey.
In case anyone is wondering. I changed my MK4 TDI 5 speed inner tie rods with a Cresent wrench (or large open-end wrench) without removing anything but the tire and tie rod assembly. Turn the steering wheel one way and it gives you easy access to one inner tie rod side. Turn it the other way and do the other side. Easy peasy, no special too needed. Well, maybe a pickle fork.
Torque specs from Audi factory manual
- Subframe Screws: 100 NM + 90°
- Steering gear screws: 20 NM + 90°
Great video, thanks! Btw, did you reuse your subframe bolts? If you did, did you torque it to 73-74 lbs or more? I plan to get new bolts, but I'm just short in cash right now.
I dented my subframe and was hoping I could change it without messing with the steering rack. Thanks for the video
I did this a few years back and after the dogbone, sway bar, ball joints, control arms, and numerous bolts that's all I remember actually removing from the car. However, even with your suspension intact, your alignment will still be off because you removed the ball joints. It takes about 20 minutes per side to set the front alignment on these cars using the string and ruler method.
Great video on removing your K frame although I must ask. I don't see the lower control arms on your K frame. Did you disconnect the lower control arms and leave them connected to the spindle?
I replaced my control arms completely so I did separate them from the spindles and K member!
@@maxattackmotorsports5354 I thought so I definitely know something glad it worked out for you
Quick question I just dropped my K frame and I disconnected my steering knuckle adapter from the steering column,
and now I'm trying to re install it again and it won't go on the steering column because I can't get it to line up Straight.
Do you have any suggestions of how to get this on?
My only understanding is to drop the steering column to pull it back a little bit to get that steering knuckle on the column.
Any other suggestions?
