Hey guys,

The front subframe of my 1996 Toyota Celica 7afe is rusting and I would like to replace it. I have found the same part from a 1995 and was wondering if it would fit? I assume that they would since they are both from the 6th generation, but I would like some feedback before I start working on it.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I am 99.99% sure that it should. I don't see why it would be different

yep should fit

It will fit, only difference from 94-95 and 96-99 was the adaptation to OBDII but that only concerns the motors. Even if the replacement was from a 5S equipped 6GC it would still work being that your only difference then is the motor mounts.

Long story but I bought what I thought was an ST front subframe, turned out to be from a GT. Not a good way to go. The way the steering rack mounts, or the rack itself (one of the two) is different between the ST and GT. You have to make a custom bracket for it, and its never quite the same lol.
But all the ST subframes will work.

Oh,. I had never even thought about this, but I'm planning on swapping the entire front end from a 99 GT in to a 95 ST including manual transmission conversion, brakes, etc.... etc... etc.. and a V6,.

I'm guessing this isn't going to be a problem if I swap everything, steering rack, trans, etc?

The steering rack is different but ToyoDIY shows the same part number between my 98 GT and a 95 ST.

Well I'm just saying from my experience. Bought a front subframe for the 'reliable' Jim, said it was from an ST. Every bolt mounted up the same with the exception of the 2 that mount the steering rack. I assume I still have pics somewhere I'll try to find them tonight.

I believe you. I was just saying that ToyoDIY shows the same part number (51201-20300) and diagram for all of the USDM models. The ST202, Carina, Corona, and Curren also share the same subframe if I expand the search outside of the U.S. The steering rack also shows the same part number for USDM Celicas and some European Celicas (44250-20640.)

Yeah I probably got the one that was different. This Thread is from years ago when I replaced it.
Left from my ST, right I assumed from a GT since it was different but never looked too much into it. Maybe it was from a 205, or RHD?
The right ones mounting points are a few inches apart in comparison. Everything else mounted perfect




Had to make a bracket to extend to the steering rack. Works perfect, just kind of a pain.
