[Shotimes] subframe bolts torque

[Bruce Malachuk]

Is it high pitched or low pitched groaning noise. John brings up a good
point on the spacers and checking the thing the springs rest on at the
perch. My SLO had a rubber insulator at the perch be completely gone, and it
made horrible noise.

Well I haven't replaced them.  I'm trying to track down a horrid groaning
noise I hear coming from the front end.  Just had a motor mount replaced and
that wasn't it.  The subframe was out when the clutch was replaced this past
summer and I never went back to check the torque on the bolts.
