My subframe is loose. I mean if I take a jack, put it on the subframe and lift... the subframe comes up, and the bushings just chill where they're at. Any ideas?

The OEM subframe bushings have a rubber insulator that allows some up-and-down motion between the body and subframe. The description of "just chill" does not enable me to determine what is actually occurring.

The bolts should be torqued to a minimum of 75 lb-ft. I cannot recall the maximum value, but I believe that it is 85 lb-ft.

Sorry Scott. What I mean is the subframe actually slides up the bolt, and the bushings stay in place, as in they don't move with the subframe itself. I just called Murph and talked to him, and he said just to get some Al SFBs, and replace them. That's probably the method I'll with, assuming they complete the GB.
