it is, if your changing the stance of your car. as long as its just the rail thats moving and not the body of your car. otherwise when you weld it in you could possibly change how the car drives, in a bad way.

 

I just used a jack to get my subframe level with the car and welded it on, no problems here

 

yeah when i said put it in oil i knew it would be hard cause you have to totally submerge it and i doubt anybody has a really big bucket filled with oil that they can fit an entire subframe into.

 

you can drench it.....bucket-o-oil and just dump it....we've done it before in some forging&metal working classes i had couple years back. we had some awkward pieces......thats why i saved my oil....its like life after death for oil, it has has more uses.

 

Where did this idea come up about covering subframe connectors in oil? Dumping a bucket of oil over the length of subframes doesn't sound like it would make a mess or anything Just put the bastards on.

 

haha, they were talking about heating the subframe connectors up and bending them, then putting oil on it as it cools down...

just jack it up and weld away!

 

that would be my first suggestion....

all that other stuff you dont need unless its wayyyyyyyyyyy off and if your jacking of the connector and its moving the car before they mesh together. then you'll get improper allignment and your car will drive funny.

 

Yeah thats a good point, do NOT jack the car up and weld them in, get the car to a drive on lift so it can sit on all the tires as it would on the ground. If you have to jack the car up make sure it sits on the suspension, like the front control arms and rear axle and not the frame. Before welding make sure the car doors open and close okay...

 

thanks guys got them in tonite and welded

tomorrow i am puttin in my 255 fuel pump

 

nice man, did you notice a difference from your subframe connectors?
