![]() This article will be a little longer than that last as there are many things to cover and we also included our personal recommendations on how to approach repairing and reinforcing these problem areas. This article is intended to expand on the understanding gained by the previous by focusing on all the other areas prone to failure in the E46 chassis as a result of this subframe/RACP issue. We also aimed to provide guidance on where and what to look for when performing a preliminary inspection to determine the current state of your E46’s subframe mounts and nearby failure points within the RACP. ![]() In our previous article ‘Part 1 – Will my subframe crack? How will I know?’ we laid the foundations of understanding fatigue and the basic reasoning as to why cracks occur within the unibody structure of the E46 chassis.
