After removing the subframe mounting bolts and front subframe stiffener mounting bolts, be sure to replace them with new ones.

NOTE:
- After mounting the subframe and brackets loosely, align all of the installation reference holes in the subframe, in the subframe front bracket, and in the body using a screwdriver or tapered punch as a guide, then tighten the bolts.
- After reinstalling all removed parts, check and adjust the front wheel alignment.
