    Please correct me if I'm wrong but to me it looks like that bush is not fully pressed in to the subframe.It looks like few mm out.

      Yes you can see the metal collar is not fully inside the subframe as its supposed to be. So the subframe must not be sitting square on the car. I would take this back to whoever fitted it.

        Whole bush is not pressed in probably need to get it off the car and get a new one pushed in as I would think that's now toast

          What may have happened is the front bushes were fully pressed home only to have been partially pressed back out if the car was lowered using a trolley jack on the subframe near the bushes.
