WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda CR-V, 2010 Honda CR-V, 2009 Honda CR-V, 2008 Honda CR-V, and 2007 Honda CR-V. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Before removing the subframe, make a mark where the subframe lines up with the body for reinstallation.
After loosening the subframe mounting bolts, be sure to replace them with new ones.
When installing, align both installation reference holes in the subframe with both reference holes in the body using a screwdriver or tapered punch as a guide.
After reinstallation all removed parts, check and adjust the front wheel alignment (see WHEEL ALIGNMENT ).

Loosely install new front subframe mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the sequence shown.
