In replacing the subframe bushings I am able to get the flange of the bushing up against the body with a jack and a saddle that presses on the edge of the flange, but by the time I get the jack out from under it, the plate on and the bolt in, the bushing is sitting about 1/4" from the body of the car.

How do I get it seated so that it will stay there?
