Rear front subframe bushing

i
I changed the Rear front subframe bushing but noticed something odd.

With the new bushing fully in place and the washer and bolt fitted there is a 5mm gap between the washer and subframe, is this correct?

I cant remember how it was before i changed the bushing.

The bushing has exactly the same dimensions as the old one.

Picture



Can anyone answer to this?

Im not positive, but that doesn't look normal. Is there another suspension component that is putting tension on the bar stopping it from going in the rest of the way?

Hi and thanks for response.

no, there is nothing stopping it besides the aluminuim rod in the bushing.

I will change the rear busnings tomorrow, perhaps i see something strange then.

I will be back.

regarding the gap in front bushings, i checked it now when i lowered the subframe.:
One cant to anything wrong when installing the new bushings, so it is like it is.
