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?

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...

Undo all the mounting bolts and start with the rear mounts first....then move forward....keeping everything loose at first of course. Then align and tighten.

I bought a set. I had to drill out the holes because they weren't big enough to fit the SS bolts that came with them. (bought straight from DSE) However, there were no alignment issues with them to the body.

I had him unbolt the sub-frame and start from the back working to the front and all is good now.
