The forward two bushings are in place, the middle point is bolted to the car's frame.

However, I don't recommend using this solution. The subframe prevents the drive unit from getting as high up in the car as it should be, leading to weird axle angles and the combination of a tall ride height and ...

Re: [DRIVING] 1940 Chevrolet with Tesla Motor
