Front Subframe: Description and Operation

FRAME ASSEMBLY - FRONT SUBFRAME

The front subframe is bolted to the body and:
- aids in structural support.
- provides the mounting surface for the steering gear, the front suspension lower arms, the front engine support bracket and the transmission support insulator.

Unibody misalignment can affect both the front and the rear wheel alignment, the operation of the suspension parts and the drivetrain operation.

In a unibody vehicle, every structural member and outer panel is designed to offer the maximum protection in the event of a collision.
