Default C4 Front Suspension

There is not a front sub frame like a Camaro/Firebird F-Body on the C4. You basically have to take out the transverse spring and then remove things bit by bit: rack, A arms, sway bar, etc.

I gotcha! I learned there is no subframe but you can take out the crossmember. I saw where some people were puttin the crossmember on other cars and trucks like a mustang 2 front end. I have a c4 that was wrecked that I'm gonna put the front and rearend on my 55 chevy truck!
