Default subframe connectors?

i know my car is old but i dont see any wear and tear underneath. ive been thinkin of adding subframe connectors but is this gonna just add weight? or is it gonna be a good idea before something does tear? will they help handling?

It is worth it. This will help with keeping gaps normal, and help with the handling in spirited driving, not just at the track.

They are cheap enough, and will only help. you are looking at $90ish for the full length connectors at cj pony parts and maybe $100 max to have a muffler shop weld them in.

worth every penny you spend on them. doesnt matter if the car is stock or a race car, if you drive on the street or race every week. you wont regret it

Thumbs up

get 'em....they're worth the little bit of extra weight.


...and just from my standpoint....put in a driveshaft loop while you're under there installing the subframe connectors.




u-joint failure isn't pretty
