Actually I got it all back together amd it’s driving just fine. Will see what the alignment shop says.
I got the diagonal brace on the subframe studs but the front hole was about 1/4” off front the bolt hole under the fender. I put the ratchet strap around the front of the diagonal brace and the other end to the pillar of my front porch. Torqued it a little to pull the brace over 1/4” so I could get the bolt in.
Torqued all the nuts/bolts and took it for a test drive and drive fine.
I do have a ABS and brake sensor light. Have too look at that this weekend.
