When the wheel is mounted, do you get the same amount of play when you shake it?
I meant is it noisy when you are cornering? |

^ouch that sucks.
Might as well do motor mounts if you need to drop the subframe to drill that out. I would replace all of those bolts, the subframe bolts, and the strut pinch bolts too. |

don't wanna drop subframe. I was thinking of using the cyllinder the bolt threads into as my center. I was thinking of making a drill guide that slides over tubes and then I will have the right drill angle and close to center if not right on.A notched tube whose id matches the od of the mount.
