Problem with DSE solid body mounts?

[sikryd]

Has anyone run into any installation issues with the DSE solid body bushings? My body shop guy said that only the front firewall bushings will line up. I have not had a chance to get down there to see the problem myself, but wanted to check with you all to see if you have run into the same issue.

Installed dozens, no issue here.

I just got back from the body shop, and the rear hole from sub-frame to body seems to be about a 1/4" off. My theory is that because the car has sub-frame connectors welded in and the guy has the car on a lift, there is some undue stress on that area that may cause the holes to not line up. I asked him to put the car on the ground and try to fit them... Do you install your mounts with car on ground, or on a lift?

Have the front already been tightened with out lining up the frame? Never had an issue with them

What would a mount have to do with a subframe and body alignment?

there is enough room for the sub too move with the front bushings in and the rear will not line up if not adjusted properly. If the alignment pins are lined up and the rear still not going in, the frame could be tweaked

I still ask, what would a DSE solid body mount have to do with a misaligned subframe?

Exactly....

Measured the frame and it's square... The bolts are in just a few threads in the front 4 mounts. I guess I have to wait and see if the rear ones line up with the car on the ground. Not sure whats causing it...
