I'm just about ready to re-install my subframe. I am trying to determine whether I should install the brake and fuel lines under the body before or after the subframe. It seems when I removed the fuel lines I had to remove the rh front bolt holding the subframe to body. Can someone chime in to the best order of install here? Thanks!

Install the subframe, make sure its straight and aligned, then install the brake/fuel lines... thats the way i did it smile.gif

If the rear end is out of the car, you can install the lines after the sub frame without much trouble. If the rear is still in, I would put the lines in first, and then the sub frame.

Do you meanif the rear is off the car do the lines on subframe off? Please explain I'm going to this next and my diff is off.

Thanks

Sorry for the mixed up answer above. It has been edited.
The whole idea is to be able to install the lines without bending them too much. You can do this with either the rear end, or the sub frame removed.

Don't forget to check the alignment of the subframe with the line up holes.

Hey, thanks for all the responses. Kyvox, both the subframe and rearend are off. If I install the lines before installing the subframe and rearend, will the lines be in the way upon intallation of these items?

No, the lines will not necessarily be in the way. You'll just have to keep them aligned when you raise the subframe into place. The factory installed the lines to the body before the subframe and rear end were installed, as far as I know.
