Front subfram the same?

[DonDDR]

As a regular Taurus or is it SHO only, my car got into a curb and she is not a happy girl at the moment.

The SHO subframe is SHO only, and in your case it is Automatic Transmission SHO only.

You can adapt a later model subframe into your car if you are willing to modify it and create mounting attachments for the motor and transmission. The subframe will bolt to the car but the motor and tranny will not bolt to the subframe.
It is reported to improve handling.

I was afraid of that. Mine is bent pretty good. This might be the end of her.

I bet if you poke around you can find a used replacement subframe. Ask around or post in the wanted section on the forum.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the ATX SHO and SLO subframes may be the same. They are very close if they aren't the same.



Probably out of the realm of possibility, but it could be a good time to upgrade to the gen 3 subframe. It does require some work though. If you're looking for a straight swap to replace yours stick with the gen 2.

iirc, with the atx to do the 96+ subframe swap requires only relocating the front motor mount hole. the gen3 subframe is a big improvement in ride and handling, not to mention better brakes and no more pressing in wheel bearings.

perhaps someone who has one will chime in.

Contact us at SHO Source and we can get you a replacement subframe.

This thread may help you determine if the Gen III route is for you
