Hello all,
The front subframe on my '82 380SL broke yesterday, the left rear 'A' frame mounting tab broke off, leaving the 'A' frame on the pavement when I was taking my granddaughter to school. I called MBUSA, and they said the car isn't eligible for the subframe recall - what other cars use the same subframe - maybe I can find a good used one in a wrecking yard? I did call the local MB parts guy and ordered the subframe strengthing kit ($87) and I'd like to start off with a good subframe to strengthen! Does the 380SEL or 380SE interchange??

Thanks,
