Thanks for the video. I swapped my subframe out yesterday, and trying to get the nut back on the bolt for the steering rack was a nightmare, the only way I could manage it was to hold the nut with long nose pliers and just keep turning the bolt until it caught. I was worried about losing the nut in the subframe though as I dropped it a couple times but managed to fish it out with a magnet.
I found that myself a couple of times Atleast you got it done though mate
@@6uiltdifferent Cheers Ted, going to get the frame powder coated now.
I snapped the head off a bolt from the lower control arm where it goes into that aluminium block, I had replacement arms to go on the car so that's not a problem, but any ideas how I get the bolt out now? There's about 7mm of bolt sticking out, I don't have a welder. It's weird because of the 4 bolts in these aluminium blocks, 2 from either side were really binding trying to undo them and the other 2 came out with not much effort at all. With it being aluminium you wouldn't expect corrosion to be the cause either.
Nicccccceeee deffo looks great levelled up with the powder coating 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate and yeah just makes it look that little bit better I think
@@6uiltdifferent credit we’re it’s due mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Top job mate 👏
Thanks boss much appreciated
Drawing the 18 turns on the arch liner is my favourite 😂😂 great vid bro that new stuff looks sweet 😍
You can’t forget then haha and thank you sir much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Fantastic job that Ted 🔥🔥 I had my wish bones out the other week 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👌🏻☺️
Top job mate. once it's all dialed in it will be mint!
Thanks mate and yeah I hope so haha
I took the subframe off mine when I had to replace the gearbox (diff blew up) and clutch and driveshaft but this was on a hydraulic lift made it a lot easier still cost over £500 with a second hand gearbox, new crank seal engine-gearbox oil etc
Damn must have been an expensive day for you then Atleast she’s up and running again that’s the main thing
Great job, well done!!
Thanks mate much appreciated
very nice work. Personally, I would still get rid of the rust at those fairings and then it will be top. I understand it's pretty bad on the street. I keep my fingers crossed for further improvements
Thanks bud much appreciated and don’t worry it’s in the plans but I won’t be doing it myself due to not having the time and other projects so this one will be sent away
@@6uiltdifferent so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I have a white ST too and it's a joy;) and I'll definitely be inspired;)
@@tomns6060 won’t be for a while but stayed tuned it’s coming 😊
Nice work 👌
Thanks mate much appreciated
you can certainly to this stuff. i take my hat off to you. i didn't quite spot what that special tool was and what you did with it. sorry to be thick. doing the job myself next week.
Was the tool for the steering rack bushes mate pushed them straight out
The frozen strikes again
Trying my best haha thanks mate 😊
Awesome colour is that 5002
Thanks mate and yes it is very good eye 👍🏻
I saw what happened with that anti-roll bar ;)
Don’t know what you mean 😂😂🤫
Hi Ted can I ask how much you paid to have your subframe powder coated?
I approached a local powder coat firm who shot blasted my calipers recently, and they quoted £65 to blast/prime/powder coat my subframe/antisway bar, seems way too cheap to my mind.
The price for the subframe wishbones and roll bar to be coated was £260
Where are the solid steering rack bushes from mate? Much needed front end overhaul due very soon on my ST
Hi buddy they’re from Kinzy fabrications
@@6uiltdifferent Cheers mate. I take it you wouldn't have been able to tell if they made a difference since you changed out so many parts at once?
@@RoryMacdonald1337 it’s hard to say but I’d say it makes a difference as you get less vibration through the wheel and the steering feels a lot tighter defo worth the £30
Where are the lower arms from got a link ?
I got them off someone off of Facebook but I’m sure they’re these ones

19mm ARB Bushes?
Hey came with the roll bar so not sure they vastly do I’d just measure the one you’ve got
@@6uiltdifferent sure thing.. I'm thinking 19mm is standard, but some are 18 for some ford reason. (Thou should be zetec s) ordered 19mm so will measure it when it doesn't or does fit..😂
