Where the bolts marked green and yellow in general don't make any problems, but the bots marked red can make problems to fit to the aluminium brace.



I'm not shure if all bolts are in one line. If they are and it is only a problem to get the 2 bolts on the red arrows side in line with the aluminium brace, this could easliy corrected with a ratched strap.

If the bolts are not in line on one side, this cross member has to be replaced.

I don't disagree with Markus and Woody, but also not sure I totally understand the issue. If I understand the problem correctly, you are trying to get the two right rear bolts to line up. Try using the strap on the mounting point for the stabilizer bar brackets.

His car was in an accident at some point in it's life before the OP took ownership of it. His boxster has had body work done in front of the right rear tire. He texted me pictures of his car and the right rear subframe is off a 97 boxster. I'm guessing that the car took a hard hit that broke the original subframe and bent the cross member. Whoever fixed it put the wrong subframe on and I'm guessing didn't replace the cross member either. I'm thinking the cross member is causing the subframe to tilt at angle and not letting the op to put the brace back on. He said he's wanting to take it to a body shop and that's a good idea.
