The manual says all the sub frame bolts are 70nm plus 1/4 turn.  If you are just renewing the bolts you can take them out and replace them one at a time. That way you wont have to have a realignment done.

Sorry to bring up a dead topic but rather then start a new one I thought id continue this one, then if anyone searches, theres more info in one thread :)

I'm looking at getting these, https://www.ecstuning.com/News/MKV_Subframe_Spacer/ES2102460/ as ive heard they can get rid of creaking. When im at a very slow speed/stopped and turn the wheels, reversing in a spot for example I get a creak when turning the wheel.

My questions are can I just undo one bolt, replace it and then replace the other the same way? and also does the bolt screw into a body of some sorts a.k.a theres no nut on the other side? Thanks

You can watch an online video from ECS, I think, explaining how to fit the subframe spacers and new bolts. :wink:
