today as im putting my subframe back up i notice that the passengers side dosnt wanna fit right. Im using the cup style asb's and they became more and more cockeyed the more i tightened them. I didnt mess around with em much tonight but im thinking that the subframe isnt properly alligned. I got the drivers side bushings in and bolted up fine so i figured like wise for the others. what do you guys think.

Also, the halfshaft thats comming from the passenger side, should there be any space showing between where it inserts into the tranny once its in.Its kinda hard to describe, theres the halfshaft piece and its got a oval shaped piece then the spindels. The spindels are in the tranny, but theres a small space between the tranny and "oval shaped piece" Ive got the haftshaft bolted correctly to the mounts that hold it, however, it dosnt look like its sitting right in the tranny. The tranny is alligned perfectly,no spaces between the engine and bellhousing. The space in question is very small, quater of an inch. Is this correct or is it sitting wrong.Seems to me there should be no space and it should sit snuggly against the tranny.

IIRC, I have always had that gap. It's normal as long as the center bearing support is bolted up correctly.
