[urq] UrQ SUb-Frame(s)

[Martin pajak]

1.  Front not unique, rear yes (up to VIN ~650).
2.  Front yes, with any 4kq or 90q subframe, Rear yes with modification to
the tie rod attachment, or entire suspension swap from a 4kq (keep Ur-q
hubs).
3.  Rear subframes from 4kq can be used on early cars if the tie rod
attachment is moded or entire rear suspension is swapped.


Yes, the oil pan can be removed without removing the subframe BTDT... you
simply loosen the subframe bolts and remove the fronts tilting the subframe
and allowing access to some of the pesky fasteners.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [urq] UrQ SUb-Frame(s)


     I read with interest all the recommendations on this subject but found
it difficult to sort the complete situation due to references to control
arms
etc. Basic questions for someone to answer please relating to just the
subframe(s):

     1.  Are the 83 sub-frames unique to the 83?
     2.  If the answer to 1 is NO can they be replaced, without
modifications, by a sub-frame from some other model?
     3.  If modifications are required, which model sub-frames can be used
and what are the modifications?

     Thanks

     PS.
     Does anyone have spare oil pan/sump for a standard WX engine that they
would willing to part with? Mine is somewhat battered and rusty?
     Can the sump be removed with the engine 'in situ' and without removing
the sub-frame?
