subframe problem

[Dr_Thompson]

im putting my subframe back up and i cant get the front bushings to allign properly. the back ones are fine but the fronts are off by a quater inch. I thread the bolts in and bout 3 quaters of the way the bolt wont move anymore. Im not sure what the problem is. Im using cup style ASB's. Any comments/suggestions?thanks

Make sure that the rears aren't completely tightened up when you try to get the front bolts in. Start the rears and get them maybe 1/4 - 1/2 way in and try to line up the front ones and start threading them. When you get them 3/4 of the way threaded does the bolt stop threading or just it just spin?

masho95, right after i posted this i went out and loosened the rears and then the fronts slid in.

Now go back out and loosen them up and grab a pair of tire irons. and get them in the alingment holes in the back of the front bushings. Get it as close as possible before it goes on the rack.
