Rear Subframe Alignmemt

RalphyBMW · 02-07-2016, 08:24 AM

Lowered my rear subframe yesterday to change my ARB, now my steering is slightly out.

Didn't touch any of the arms, Spring carriers, etc.

Undid both front bolts, loosened one rear. All torqued up to factory spec.

Front two mounts locate onto pins from the floor pan so expected it to be fine.

Any ideas?

TIA

Not sure if this applies to the subframe, but some suspension components should be only tightened and torqued with full vehicle weight on all 4 wheels.
