Another question for those of you have done this bushing replacement.

How do you ensure you have the the sub-frame centered on the body before you tighten everything up? There is a ton of slop in the space between the M12 bolts and the bolt holes in the bushings (it's a bit over 1/2"), so it would be possible to install the sub-frame a ways off from center.

I did think about marking the subframe before I removed it but it wasn't obvious how to mark the sub-frame and body since the bushings create a gap between the two. Is it worth putting a sleeve between the bolt and the bushing?
