MK5/6 Front Subframe Locking Collar's | ECS Tuning DIY

In this DIY we show you how to install the ECS Tuning front subframe locking collar kit on your MK5 or MK 6 VW. VW aluminum front subframes are notorious for "walking" or "shifting," creating clunks, squeaks and groans while turning, starting and/or stopping. If you notice signs of subframe shifting, identified by looking underneath the front suspension and inspecting where the front subframe meets the body and a separation line is observed, or if you hear knocking or clunking while making turns, starting and/or stopping you more than likely will need this ECS Front Subframe Locking Collar Kit. The ECS Locking Collar Kit features precision CNC machined aluminum upper and lower locking inserts, anodized black for long lasting corrosion protection and include larger shank diameter OEM inboard subframe bolts. Evaluated by our in house R&D team, we do not believe the subframe shifting is a result of the larger shank diameter hardware stretching, but more as a result of loose tolerances between the bolts and subframe bolt holes.
