they bend unless the engiens removed. I had a lhell of a time gettign the subframe for the hatch bent back to shape so I could bolt it up.

so engine hoist is a must unless its a clio

will have to have a closer inspection of mine to make sure its that. if it broken can they be welded or is this only a short term solution. will investigate and try get some pics later.

so its an engine out job and try find a decent second hand one
