Front Subframe Alignment

NOTE: Using the subframe alignment pin, make the front suspension subframe alignment as the following sequence

Make the front suspension subframe (A) alignment
1. Lift the front suspension subframe up to the body, and loosely install the new subframe mounting bolts and the brackets (B)
2. Insert the alignment pin (C) into the alignment hole in the right rear of the subframe, and then align the subframe with the body
3. Loosely tighten the subframe mounting bolt (D) until the lower insulator (E) contacts to the body at the right rear
4. Insert the alignment pin into the alignment hole in the left rear of the subframe, and then align the subframe with the body
5. Loosely tighten the subframe mounting bolt (F) until the lower insulator contacts to the body at the left rear
6. Insert the alignment pin into the alignment hole in the right rear of the subframe, and then tighten the mounting bolt to the specified torque values.
7. Insert the alignment pin into the alignment hole in the left rear of the subframe, and then tighten the mounting bolt to the specified torque values
8. Tighten both front subframe mounting bolts (G) to the specified torque values
9. Tighten all of the bracket mounting bolts (H) to the specified torque values

Set the front suspension subframe middle rubber mounts (I) on both sides, and tighten the mounting bolts (J) that secure the rubber mounts to the body to the specified torque values Tighten both subframe mounting bolts (K) securing the subframe and the rubber mounts to the specified torque values
After reinstalling all removed parts, check and adjust the front wheel alignment (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT )
