Re: Snapped "rear cradle"?
It's a little late now, but you should only do one side at a time!
and Jimmie is right... the only thing holding the cradle in place is the U bolts to the transaxle.
As for the loud snap... it could be a number of things,
The braided ground strap from the engine to the frame, (up front, attached to the valve cover)
and any part of the air intake system, air box, intake tube, and maybe even the plastic carburetor manifold. (intake tube to carb attachment)
