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.
My appologies I see what's happened now.

I think 13.5 hours for the whole job is very quick. I'm glad to hear there wasn't an alignment issue. I think there will be for my W123 - it is made differently.
