Discovery rear crossmember

Maddogtrev · Sep 1, 2011

Hi
I have to replace my rear crossmember in Discovery300tdi
and would be greatfull for any tip or advice on this job

its a fokin pain in the ass.... all i can is wish you good luck.. lots of it!

you have to jack the body off the chassi to get the cross member in and then weld the whole thing...

are you putting a whole new cross member or just the boxes on the mounts?

If your going in there, check your boot floor and rear arches, you could save yourself a double job.

Thanx for all the tips I have already done both sills and some patches on the floor and wheel arches just have the back crossmember and a small patch on the n/s inner wing to do I think the rear crossmember probably looks harder to do than it realy is with the kitt I,ll let youknow how I get on
