Re: Can you weld subframe connectors...

I was actually told that with the 4 post, the weight on the engine in the front of the car preloads the suspension therefore making it ok

Re: Can you weld subframe connectors...

You need to have the weight of your car supported by the suspension. Therefore, you have to be on a drive-on ramp.

Re: Can you weld subframe connectors...

Anyone looking to weld subframe connectors........do yourself a favor and listen to the above posts.................

if anyone tells you anything other than a drive on lift........get the hell out of there quick!

Years ago.....(1995 or so) I had a set of Dugan racing subframe connectors (before full length were availabe) welded on my '91 LX using a post lift and the doors wouldn't close if the car was ever driven onto a ramp or put on a lift.
