All,

Is the front subframe which is connected to the frame via rubber bushings supposed to sit tight up against the frame or is there to be room for it to move about?

I ask this as I have a "clunk" both front and rear that I am trying to search and destroy on and the last time I was lowering the car I noticed this that while jacking on the subframe to raise the car I notice that it moved quite a bit, maybe a 1/4" till it met the frame and then the car moved upwards. Is this normal.

Also in case you are wondering, I have replaced both front and rear struts and shocks and their ancillary parts about a year ago.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
