That sucks. I was somehow lucky enough to end up with a really clean one out of a 1G DSM. I don't know where the car was from that it came out of but even the alignment adjustment bolts were clean and rust free.

How much does one cost new? It's called pickling. (acid dipping).

Wow are you serious? That is almost hard to believe, I am going to have to look in to it now. Do you have a link by chance?

We talkin tel subframe's? I would bet gvr4 is diffrent.
 

MB515380

$183 from JNZ

That's Galant VR4 specific.

Surprisingly the DSM crossmember is more, $264. What would the difference be? I'd be tempted to buy a new Galant crossmember for my Talon if it's only $183 and comes with new bushings.

The galant one has a couple extra brackets welded to it to hold some 4ws crap.
Thats nuts that they are that cheap.

On a side note I saw a new gen Camry on a flatbed coming back from being acid dipped. It seriously dumbfounded me for days that someone would want to do that. I'm still completely confused by it.

what's the # for the ggsx?
 

GGSX is same part number as DSM: MB515381

Also, while this should contain the bushings, the "stopper" between the subframe and car body is apparently not included (MB584140), nor is the bracket between the subframe and nut (MB584645).
