Rear Subframe

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Milan, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, and 2006 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
