rear subframe replacment Help

[bilko0795]

Right here we go just replaced my rear sub-frame with a nice re-furbed one only thing now is the diff doesn't seem to be sitting right it seems to be at an angle, my brother took the n/s of the diff mount and can't remember if the alloy cup sits below in the bush or above it as per picky 2. I have put my spare dif on to the old sub-frame and as you can see at the bottom of pic 3 the n/s brkt is of centre this can't be right. Any info on this would be helpful.

See how one side of the diff mount is above and the other below the subframe.
And one of your mount brackets seem the be on upside down.

Thanks for that Eric
Me thinks you are correct

That'll do it

However the brkts are correct as I did not move them when taking the sub-frame off but now I have to take it all of again and start over and I need the car for work tomorrow afternoon

[irishs2]

I don't think you have to take it all off, just undo the passenger side bracket and re attach it so its below the subframe

I have had a look see and I can't get the allan key on the top two bolts

You can take the diff out without taking off the subframe, letting the front of the subframe down a bit makes it a bit easier IIRC.

You can swap the rear diff in an hour on axle stands, should be less if the bolts are new.

Can anyone confirm that 893.511.327 B is the right part number for the diff mounts these are the ones I have and they seem different from the ones on the old sub-frame as in the centre where the bolt goes through is longer on the one mount as per pic 2

I've had a look through some of th pics I took when I changed my rear subframe, hope this pic may help? Cheers Condor.
