My mechanic friend was going to replace the rear bushes on my car at the weekend which meant removing the rear subframe. On inspection it looked like the subframe alignment could be adjusted on the car. He didn't want to take it off as he didn't think he could get it back on in exacty the same alignment.

There appear to be two holes on which some sort of alignment tool can be placed (similar to a clutch plate aligner i presume but with eccentric spacers ) does anybody know if such a tool exists? How is realignment normally carried out after removal?

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Whiteline do the 'subframe alignment bolts'. These utilise the holes in the subframe and the chassis. The part number, from memory, is KSB750, available from all Whiteline dealers for less then a couple of tenners.
