Help with Subframe Toe Bolt Hole for SPC?
 
Hi guys! Wanted to ask the community about my current problem with my toe bolt situation. I went to buy the SPC toe bolt to replace the OEM one as my alignment guy said it was "binding". Upon replacement it turns out that the original oval hole was now enlarged quite a bit. I'm guessing the previous owner tried installing the SPC bolt as well in the past and messed up?

TLDR; Is the hole fine for me to use with the SPC rear toe bolt? It looks a bit wider than I hoped. Would get the eccentric lockout kit but I run bags so I can replace the bucket.

:eek: I don't like that at all. What an idiot :shakes head:

Hopefully one of the more knowledgeable members will show up and tell you it's ok. Did you show that photo to your alignment guy?

Holy grind fest..... Not sure how you are going to correct that besides getting a used subframe that is in good shape.

Long as the raised tab is good on both sides. It's usable. Tap down any raised areas between the tabs. You might have to grind some metal at the top. When it's being adjusted. Looks like it's hitting the one spot. After alignment. You can do a couple of spot welds around the washer to hold it.
