    Re-bushing subframe, Sitting high?

    So redone all the bushings on the rear subframe. When I put the drive line in its rubbing the bottom of the car. Seems to be sitting about alittle over half an inch maybe two inches too high?

    What could contribute to this?

    Holes on side of car where the plates go don't align.


    Drive line hitting top of the car.

      do you have the sub frame bushings upside down on each end where it bolts onto the chassis?

          I think the washers are more for reinforcement, none of mine had them either.

            Figured it out when subframe was sitting around the one on the other side slid out and wouldn't go back in. I've pressed it in four times haha. Think I finally got it.

            Bushing from hell.
