For certain procedures on the vehicle, the subframe or complete front axle must be removed. For installation, the original position of the subframe
can be retained by using locating pins (T10300). If using locating pins, the bonded rubber bushings must have round hole for the bolts. For start of
production, bonded rubber bushings with quadrangular hole were installed, subframes with this type of bushings cannot be secured. Always install
locating pins (T10300) just prior to lowering the subframe or front axle. After completing repair work, a road test must be performed; if the steering
wheel is crooked, a vehicle alignment must be performed. Refer to --> [ Wheel Alignment ] See: Alignment/Service and Repair/Wheel Alignment.
