Not quite sure wot you mean as a bx dosent have a rear subframe. Back mount? Maybe you could add a pic of this part?

Have got pic not sure how to up load, due to size! its the rubber block that goes between the car body and the frame that holds the rear rams and it just above the spheres.

That part is I believe the Bump Stop and is mounted to the top hat steel section (underside) running front to back. Most likely the steel around it has rusted away - as mine have just been replaced with new welded bits of steel. The actual rubber part may still be available. There is a rear subframe mount bolt (X2 - one each side) but these are well behind the rubber stop.

I would investigate the entire rear sub frame mounting area as this may be in poor condition too. If so it will require a little welding to ensure survival of the car. The back end of the sills will give some idea. If you still have the large grommets in the ends and they don't push into the internals of the sill, you may be in luck and get away with just replacing the Bump Stop. A 'captive' nut can be welded or brazed in place (inside/outside top hat?) if you need to get a bolt into it for attachment.

It's quite hard to see the condition of the rear subframe mounts (front end) completely just externally. However removing the cover part at the side of rear seats (rear seat belt mount bolts out and plastic trim) will allow access. Mine had to be done last year.

If you have problems with picture size, try using GIMP, a free piece of software which will let you edit the picture size and the file size ie to *.jpg or *.png. It is a bit like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements so if you know those you'll be OK.

Thank you the help folks, now order the part from a main dealer that would help.

I had it apart when sorting the swinging arms, found that the front mounts were nacked and they were not held with much metal the worm had good feed!

When putting back together managed to sheer the stud off.

you could aim the part No.'s at your local motor factors or do a goooogly search to try to find them cheaper
