Jim, this is common with Delrins, you need to get the CA bolts super tight,
sometimes if you'r subframe holes are a little worn and bigger then you get
slop like that, try tightening them down, and double nut them because they
are notorious for loosening. I've had to weld in new washer on some cars to
fix this problem.
