Take the rear mount off so all you have to line up is the front, then you can work the rear one over the s/f once you get it bolted up.

WD40 will work wonders in trying to realign the subframe...... spray it on the MM itself.


Take a pic so we can see where it's off.....:mredface:

your best bet is to find somebody with engine lifts and go from there..because to me its much easier than jacking up the car...its saves more time and is much safer to me.

Grease the $hit out of the inserts. Makes a huge difference in ease of installation.

Damn.....a lift is perfect for installing this mod....its quick 1,2,3 process instead of jacking it up on jack stands and being under the car uncomfortable..
