Definitely take care with the bolts, my drivers side rear isn't crossthreaded but became way too tight near the end, not sure if due to debris or bad threads or what. I ended up backing it out and blowing out the hole with forced air but it still had some issues and I ended up shimming the bolt because it was already reaching about 80ft-lbs. I bought another couple bolts and will be shortening one of them. Keep all four bolts loose when you get them started so the subframe can move around a bit.
