Hi there everyone, I know this has been mentioned many times on this forum but i've tried searching until i swear profusely and want to punch the laptop but still can't find anything on here about it unless i look on google and even then its an old thread with no decent info.

Please if anyone has any pics of a 306 rear subframe removal or similar as i know some of the citroens are the same it would be much appreciated. Any info would be greatly received aswell.

four bolts accessed from inside the boot, underneath the carpet/lining, rememeber to take off the brake lines / hb cables first.

should just drop down then

Indeed it will Dei,

You beat me to it

Only other pint is that the back box may well have to be removed from the exhaust system. Certainly the case when I have done this job on 205s and they are very similar...

It's a very straightforward job.

I did one on a ZX, if this is the same, the bolts through the front mountings hold everything together, so don't try taking any short cuts like I did

My thread about it is here:

Unfortunatley, geocities has closed, so the pics are no longer hosted, but if PM me your e-mail address I will send them on. Will get around to sticking them up somewhere else somewhen.

The drink comes when you've successfully dismantled the rear beam and found it is salvagable

Maybe a drink too if the rear beam is beyond help
