Frame measurement location for rear subframe carrier bolt

Recommended Posts

Looking at the frame measurements here and rear subframe mount diagrams discussed herehere, and here, I'm not 100% on the vertical position for the rear subframe mount measurement, shown as point "B" in the annotated image attached. I can't, with any certainty, visually match the point circled on the left diagram with the detailed diagram on the right.  Specifically, I can't figure out exactly where the line 64mm below the diff mounting tab holes (shown in dotted red line on left) would fall in the vertical direction. 

 

On my car, one side is rusted out/removed completely, and the other side is rusted and has been hammered on enough to render it unreliable. That said, on my car, 64mm below the diff mounting holes lands about 2mm below the cylinder housing the bolt (shown in dotted red line on right). 

 

Can someone confirm? Am I missing something obvious?

I would measure to the center of the bolt hole in the protruding face of the sleeve

Yeah, I agree. I don't know how you could measure anywhere else with precision in the Z-axis. The depiction in the diagram and my own measurements threw me off, but I appreciate the sanity check.
