WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Acura MDX, 2012 Acura MDX, 2011 Acura MDX, and 2010 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Loosely install new front subframe mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the sequence shown.
After mounting the subframe and brackets loosely, align all of the positioning holes in the subframe, in the subframe front bracket, and in the body using a alignment pin as a guide, then tighten the bolts.
After reinstalling all removed parts, check and adjust the front wheel alignment (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).
