No. At least not from the front.

I replaced my front subframe recently and the front subframe connection point/bolt has a relatively tight locating pin on both sides. Becasue there are 2 locating pins, I don't think the rear of the subframe can move much either.

There are 3 subframe bolts down each side, the middle and rear bolts don't have locating pins.
