Rear subframe

[Mylexrx]

Hi , has anyone dropped the rear diagrams out of an rx300 to replace it

Mine has rotted around front runner mount locations and on rear cross brace 

I've been all over the underside checking floor ,sills and chassis and all are solid before going to expense of replacing diagrams ,can anyone give me any pointers as into the easiest way to do it

there might be prior posts on this

I remember them a little

this is NOT too uncommon an issue at your car's age I fear

Look for postings by Chris Kaye - I'm almost sure that his RX300 rear subframe rotted and he covered the process of replacement.

EDIT:

Just found one post but there may also be others:

Just getting my rx300 ready for its mot never thought to look at subframe. Are new subframes available or is it parts and patches. I know it needs 2 front tyres and 2 wishbones drop links. As the car only cost me £200 and came with 2 shiny new wishbones am not too worried about possibility of new subframe. Are there any othe danger spots i need to look at.
