    Another subframe bushing bolt thread

    But I was able to get mine out. My sleeved cracked and i used the FredK method with great success.

    Are the subframe bolts normally bent? both sides are quite tweaked and wasn't sure if it were time to replace or to pop them back in. If they are bent from factory, is there some index to them to get them in the proper orientation?

    The subframe bolts are straight bolts. It'd take quite a bit to bend a 14mm piece of steel! Any pics of the bolts?

                  I've driven the car at most 100 feet. I picked it up from the previous owner and have slowly been fixing it. Needed to replace the brake hardline that spans the entire length of the underside. Doing a 5-lug conversion and removed the subframe for camber/toe mod, and found this.

                  the bolts are fairly inexpensive, but those washers are way over priced.

                  maybe I should start a build thread..

                    i'm gonna take a wild guess and say the that the po didn't have those bolts tightened at one point before he dropped it down and took it for a test drive.

                      Bad subframe bushings can result in bent bolts...
