Rear Subframe: Description and Operation
FRAME ASSEMBLYRear Subframe
The rear subframe is bolted to the body and is used to:
- aid in structural support.
- provide mounting surfaces for the rear suspension control arms.
Underbody misalignment can affect front and rear wheel alignment, the operation of the suspension parts and drivetrain operation. Window glass cracks, door and window opening concerns and air or water leaks at the doors are often caused by improperly tightened bolts and body misalignment.
