I came across a swap, but the junkyard was willing to give me the entire subframe, lines and parking brake cables also!!! So I gladly accepted!!! Now the question is, would it be easier to swap the whole cradle, or just the knuckles?

I could get a hold of a lift, but I do have plenty of tools here. It looks like only about 8 bolts hold the thing under there. Anyone had to swap this due to a wreck?

Thanks!!!

I think it would be easier 2 do the whole subframe because then you dont have too unbolt much from the car... first i would thoroughly inspect it because there may be imperfections that need to get fixed in that so while its out the car... clean that puppy up
