The business end of the endoscope is a small diameter cylinder and there's no indication as to which is the top and which is the bottom. To determine if I needed to lift the body up or pull the trunnion down to align the bolt holes, the camera needs to be oriented correctly. It was only after I had been making my adjustments opposite of what they should be I yanked the endoscope out of one of the bolt holes and caught sight of my upside down garage on the screen. Duh!
I expect I'll need advice when I begin adjusting my toe brackets; the instructions are useless. Stay tuned.

Try loosening the trunnion on the subframe, lining everything up with the bolts inserted, then doing it all back up again.

In order to install my new adjustable rear toe brackets, I had to remove the two bolts per side that secure the rear subframe trunnions to the body. I had the rear subframe on jack stands when I removed the bolts, and they came out smoothly without binding. When it came time to put the bolts back in, the bolts on the left side went in without a problem. The right side bolts, however, don’t line up with the threaded holes in the body.
I loosened the left side bolts and disconnected my sway bar to allow movement between the swing arm, body and the subframe and tried moving the jack stands around. I even tried placing the jack stands under the very rear of the body to allow the subframe to hang unsupported, but still cannot get the holes to line up.
The picture was taken with an endoscope from inside the trunnion hole with the threaded body hole in the background. Has anyone experienced this problem and does anyone have any ideas how I might get the holes to align? Thanks!
