Front Subframe Alignment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Before removing the subframe, make a mark where the subframe lines up with the body 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 the brackets loosely, align the reference marks with the body, then tighten the bolts.
After reinstalling all removed parts, check and adjust the front wheel alignment (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).
