Steal or Deal? - EX Rear Disc assy., X-member and sway + emblems, fender and flaps..

[islandhopper]

So i just got back from a new friends place where he has a 93' EX that he's attempting to part out. After talking it over for a bit, we came up with this list..

EX Rear Disc conversion - $50 (comes with EVERYTHING)
EX Rear Crossmember and Swaybar - $30 ACQUIRED
Left Front Fender - $10
Mud Flaps - $5
All emblems - $5

Total - $100

Any hardware that i come across i can have for free..never hurts to have an OEM nuts and bolts can in the garage

So what do you think? Steal or Deal..Did i get a good price on everything individually or as a bundle?


p.s. If anyone in NW Washington state wants an F22A6 (runs perfect) with only 151k miles mated to an H2U5 tranny, PM me.. He's selling it for CHEAP. He may also want to part it out for those of you interested in A6 parts from around the USofA...
If no one claims it soon he's goona sell the tranny to me for $100..maybe less

Sounds like a good deal to me

I saw the parts list and was about to ask you how much you wanted for shipping.....
Sounds like a good deal, especially if you get the motor and trans for $100!

That's a steal, go for it.

Nah dude, he wants somewhere around $350 for the motor and trans together. But if he doesn't find a buyer soon, he's willing to sell me just the trans for $100...possibly less.

That's a steal, go for it.

That's what im thinkin'!

Yeah man, this guy is really generous and just a great person all around.

He just wants to make a little cash before he junks it.

But anyways, im in the middle of installing the new x-member and sway, but ive hit a snag...

One of the lower control arm bolts wont come loose. Ive already got the nut off, and made sure the arm itself moves inside the crossmember, but that damn bolt just wont budge. It already destroyed some cheezy 9/16 socket that was made in malaysia. fuckin bastard wont turn. I suspect its rusted and has become one with its respective housing. I tried hammering it out, prying it out, and cursing at it...so far nothing has worked. So ive hit it with some PB Blaster and its sitting now. I would move on, but i need my car in the morning for work...so if i don't get this one off, i'll reassemble it and try again later. Any one got an idea as to how to get it out?

here's some pics:

Could it be bent possibly ?

that is the rear alignment adjuster bolt - VERY COMMON for them to get completely seized!

the way i got mine off was to bend apart the sides of the bracket to make room on either side of the control arm, and used a hacksaw to cut through the bolt.

you might be able to get the remainder of the bolt out from the bushing, but you might also need to actually replace the bushing, or just find another control arm for that side somewhere else.

other than that, id say that price is definitely a steal. anywhere you find a rear crossmember, its almost guaranteed to have 1 rusted adjuster.

youll need to get that bolt & a new nut from the dealership (or the car that you find a replacement control arm from?) as it is a special bolt with a wider shank. of course after all of this you are going to need an alignment anyway, so any work that you need to do to the front end (balljoints, bearings or tie rods?), do that now.

good luck

Thanks for the info bro!

I have all the hardware that was on the EX crossmember that i just got out of the other CB. Im going to get the entire rear ass'y, so getting a new/old bushing and/or control arm wont be a problem.

Hopefully i wont have to cut it out, but if i do, ive got my ass covered.
