Restoration / New subframe bushings and fender alignment problem
« on: June 12, 2008, 01:37:40 AM »
I finally got to a point where I could put the subframe back under the car. I installed it with new bushings and now the fender gap is way off. It is tight against the door on the top and about an inch wide at the bottom. I don't remember any fender alignment issues with the car when I bought it, but truth be told, I didn't pay much attention, threw out the old bushings, and it has been about 3 years. I've tried every possible combination of the bushings with no success. The only way I can even get it close it to add about 1/2" of spacers to the front subframe mounts in order to bring the radiator support down far enough to even get it close. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I bought the kit from DR Classic, but it did not come with instructions and there are no p/n's on them to try a reference against the assembly manual.
I am really starting to wonder if I got the wrong kit and am about ready to pull my hair out. TIA for any help
