Default Rear subframes MG ZTT

bI am new to these forums, and would appreciate your help.

Last MoT, October 2018, my MG zTT had advisories on both rear subframes. Today, as I was leaving the recycling centre, there was grinding from the rear and I managed to get to my garage only about 1/2 mile away. He said both sub frames need replacing but could not source any.

I have spent hours ringing motor factors and breakers in and around Cardiff but not joy. Nothing on ebay or Rimmers.

Any ideas please where there might any?


EDIt. That should read suspension NOT subframe. Oops sorry.

Many thanks

It will be the upper suspension arms you need replacing not the subframe, I take it one of your rear wheels is at a funny angle!

and check your springs too within the cups. My car passed at least 4 mots with two broken springs (the tails were snapped off).

That's because the arms in the link I show above have rusted away and let the spings drop...
And will look like this.
