Default bolt in subframe problem?

ok my car has a set of bolt in subframe connectors from competition engineering and the car creaks a lot when the car flexes at all or moves. is this a commom problem with bolt in style subframes? figured i would ask before i take em off and see if it goes away. if this is it what is a good set of weld in subframes to get?

thanks in adavance fellas

i've never heard of that being a problem, it would explain alot about the creaks in my car though

go with Maximum Motorsports or Griggs Racing for a good weld in connector, thats what i'm doing this summer

why dont you just have some one lay a bead of weld on your bolt in sfc? save the money of buying the second time, what you should have bought the first time
