Subframe moving

[BeatDaSHO]

Question for you guys. So I have had rubbing on my intake for a while now (about a year) and I never understood why because I put in reinforced motor mounts and the motor never moved. So just today, I had the hood up and I moved the steering wheel from left to right. I noticed the engine moved slightly. So I had a friend hop in the car and I checked under the car at the subframe. The entire subframe moves a good bit when my friend turned the wheel left to right. I checked on the passenger side and the subframe never moved. I tried tightening the drivers side bolt but it didn't budge. Should I be concerned and what should I do? Like I said, this has been there for over a year now. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Yes you should be concerned. You prolly have torn Sub frame bushings. Your best bet would be to get 2 sub frame recall kits and a set of sub frame bushings, Aluminum is nice but not required. If you search around here a bit theres plenty of info on them and how to go about replacing them.

Check the torque on your subframe bolts.

you prolly won't be able to tighten the bolts if they are the original ones. The front ones will really not budge.

Best bet would be 2 recall kits and a set of AL SFB's to lock that subframe down tight. PM me and I can help you out.
