My new subframe wont bolt up. What do I do?
I just got a replacement front engine crossmember for my 88 GXL and it wont fit, the studs are way out of whack, what the hell do I do. I'm on a time limit to get this thing put together. The back ones behind the wheel are spread apart too far and the ones in front are too close.

Alright, camera is out for now I'll work on getting pics.
As of now the ones closest to the firewall are split 1" too far apart, the ones towards the bumper are 3/4 in towards the center off-center and the one on the passenger side is 1/2in too close to center. Hope this explains enough. I was thinking of using my dremel to cut to fit the mount location.

A little grind for clearing something is one thing......
You need to determine which part is bent, becuase one of them is (the car or the cradle, or both) The bolts and holes would have lined up no problem if something wasn't ever hit.
Determine which one is bent (look for signs of crinkling, swaying or previous repairs) and then we can figure out something to fit them together well with.
