NMS Passat Subframe options ? Would mk5 fit?

Anyone know if the mk5 subframe is a direct bolt on to the nms platform?

Reason why I ask is because when I was replacing my front control arm
Bushings nobody makes “tt” style bushings (fully filled).

I tried to use the mk4 TT replacements but they are slightly bigger.

The mk5 uses a different style control arms and have TT bushings available.

Any info is appreciated

Thanks

quick update...

i tried installing a mk5 rabbit subframe. (different from b6 passat since the rabbit subframe control arm brackets can be seperated)

4 out of 6 subframe bolts line up but the 2 rear bolt holes closest to the exhaust dont line up.

so thats a no go.

i will be also trying a b6 passat subframe. (one piece)

I have also been reading that swapping subframes can affect geometry of the alignment.

will report back

The NMS and mk7 are new platforms for me, I am still learning so I might be wrong.

Wiki says the NMS is based on PQ46 platform, which is the same as CC, B6/B7, and some early Tiguan. I would start there for compatibility.

Also, if all you want is the solid bushing, then check platform PL46 (2001-2005 Audi A4, 2003-2005 S4) the solid bushing I think is prevalent in Audi and higher tier cars (R32, R).

so it looks like that even though these cars are built on the MQB platform the B6 subframe with control arms attached to it isnt as wide as the my original metal NMS passat subframe (with control arms attached)....the B6 subframe is about an inch shorter.

i have came across this thread as well....

it's all same but the different.

I have heard while the subframe is different the LCA bushing size is spot on for MQB, do a search here another guy picked up TTRS or R bushing from a mk7 MQB and they fit.

maybe that bushing that fits the NMS control arms ^^^^^^


but then again i pick up this RS3 bushing and it was too small for the control arms that i got with the b6 subframde..

FEBI also makes them with part number: 33973

BUT this 33973 fits the control arms that came off a mk5 rabbit.

by the way. the mk5 rabbit uses a different subframe than the B6 passat. The rabbit control arms wont bolt up to the B6 subframe and viac versa


here is the thread about that bushing differences:

Not entirely sure if this ever got confirmed info but I do have B6 knuckles, control arms and the subframe installed on my NMS Passat.
