Anybody with the body supplement to the WSM can tell me what's the part number for the rear subframe alignment pins? I think it is 070AG-SJAA10S but I'd rather be sure.

Rear subframe alignment pins?
- Thread starter bruckner
- Start date
The 1997-2005 WSM shows that a tapered punch should be used to align the subframe to body. Anybody has performed the alignment, if so what did you use?
I tried that- didn't work out so well. The subframe kept swinging out of place and I was afraid of hammering the taper into the aluminum to hold it into place- it could deform the aluminum hole. I ended up using Spoon rigid collars, which align the frame perfectly.
The rigid collars are the only way to ensure perfect alignment of the subframe once torqued.
The alternative is to just get the bolts in and torque them up, which will result in slight misalignments but for the most part it doesn't matter all that much once the wheels are aligned.

Thanks. What size tapered punch would be appropriate to attempt the alignment job?
