The stock bushings on the front have cast depression for the body/chassis pin to help center the sub-frame on the car. It's not super tight but it's not bad.
What's too bad is the nice billet CNC bushings were not machined with any intent that the locating pin and the bushing even a reasonable centering function. Just pure slop with lots of play. I guess it is what it is, but how hard would it have been to measure and at least get something somewhat close to a fit to help with locating and centering the sub-frame.

Also, why do the front billet subframe bushings have the two machined flat areas on the flange? I don't see on the subframe where there's a need for the flats in terms of locating the bushing within the subframe.
