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?

I always wonder about this as well. I remember Malek saying he made his own centering tool for the subframe because of this issue. Because of that and my limited set of tools I payed a shop to do it. But I always wonder how/whether they centered it properly.
