But he fixed the issue by bending it back through a funny method that worked lol. K so now the rear is done - exhaust, brace, and subframe all snug."

Let me get this straight. You dropped the sub-frame to change the LSD in the diff? Correct? The only time to drop the sub-frame is to change the bushings. You don't have to drop it to work on the diff.

So installing the sub-frame. You ran into a problem. I just got done installing the SPL sub-frame bushing in my Z. From what I went through. One of the studs caused the sub-frame to hang up. Bet the same thing happened to you. Your sub-frame wasn't bent. If it was. You have a major problem with the body being twisted, and you have a bunch of bent suspension pieces.

No sorry. I forgot that my friend came last month to install the bushings. He also changed out the center bushing as well which was a *$&#$& to do.
That's why the story didn't make sense!
It's all whiteline now! Haha. Even the center one! I have the old broken cut out one as a trophy in my garage!!!

And yeah , I think you're right about the subframe cuz all the other pieces wasn't bent at all lol. ^^
