Front & Rear subframe alignment question

Hello,

as I am about to drop both subframes on my S4 FC for restoration purpose I just wanted to know how you guys do the subframe alignment when you install them back in, anything special to be considered ? Or ist it just bolt back in ? Especially the front one. Or should I not remove them at all ? I have never done that before on a monocoque chassis. Any help is appreciated.

Best regards
Steven

The rear has subframe pins hanging from the frame so you slide the subframe to it,so you can't go wrong there.
They are under the car( at the rocker panels before the rear wheel well)
the front actually has hexagonal pins that are used for guides too.
So really you can't screw up putting on Both the rear and front subframes,unless someone has cut all that stuff off.
