Some of the subframe bolts hold the subframe / engine to the main frame...then some of the suspension bolts attach to the subframe. I'm inclined to think that they did the suspension only (and a little concerned about loosening the bolts that the engine weight rests on in order to retorque them). Any advice on what they did would be appreciated. thanks, Bob
