First, it was 13.5 hours for the complete job, not just one side.

Next, those photos are from another member, not from car. I can post photos of my car if you want.

I don't think there was an alignment issue. There was enough existing metal to hold everything in place, especial the bottom plate. The bottom plate is about 1/4" thick where the rubber bushing meet the frame. Also, those rubber bushings have an aluminum core, so they are not all rubber.
