    Subframe Bolts Quick Favor

    Can one of you lovely folks do me a favor and count the thread protrusion on your subframe bolts? Installed/torqued with car down of course.

    I need to make sure my bolts pulled all the way through. They're torqued but my OCD is mindfucking me.

    kthx!

    You can tell, by inspection of the bolt heads, if they are fully seated.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      if it its not sat in, it'll barely reach. If you have 3 or 4 thread under the bolt, which is what I have, then you should be good. I dont see how its not sitting in, you would notice. I think it'll be pretty obvious.

        True, but I don't really remember how deep they were supposed to be in their holes.

        That's what I have, I'm just being ocd/paranoid :P. Esp if I didn't pull it all the way thru the knurled part even though it makes sense if I was able to torque the nut on.

        Like I said, just checking. :)
