Thanks Scott, for the detailed reply. So, I just loosen them up and then re torque them down to 40ft lbs?
Yes, BUT first loosen the exhaust clamps (both ends of the cat and if a mount-behind rear brake master cylinder as I re-call) first.
*You basically want everything that's taught(at the rear end), loosened up just enough, maybe move it just a bit (by hand), just so it sits happy on it's own (NO TENSION). Tighten the sub-frame.
Then jiggle the exhaust just a bit (probably won't even see it) and re-tighten it as well.
We're just trying to make all the parts come together W/O stress- Which if stressed, could make vibs that you'll feel..
