The cradle is a crossmember that runs the width of the car, under the engine. Big thick looking frame piece. I would just get at an angle where the top of the engine is even with something else that should be level, like the strut tower bar, and see if they are parallel.

BTW, my grr was caused by the halfshafts not being lined up with the tranny properly, due to the cockeyed engine and tranny.
