Front Subframe Alignment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TSX, 2007 Acura TSX, 2006 Acura TSX, 2005 Acura TSX, and 2004 Acura TSX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Before removing the subframe, make reference marks on the subframe that line up with the edge of the rear bracket for reinstallation.
When installing, align both installation reference holes in the subframe with the reference holes in the body using a screwdriver or tapered punch as a guide.
After mounting the subframe and brackets loosely, align the reference marks with the edge of the rear bracket then tighten the bolts.
