Can I switch subframe connectors?
I have subframe connectors already welded to my car. Can I get these removed (don't know how, looking for an answer to that as well) and have a new set welded on? Or would that cause too much structural weakness?
Thanks,
Brian

best way I can think of after doig many frame off restos on older cars.
Get the car in the air then get the wheels so the body weight is on them - simulated sitting on the ground. Then plasma cut or die grind the old wels. Clean the frames up and install new connectors per instructions. The risk of integrity loss would be if you cut the connectors while the front or rear frame could flex. While sitting on the tires shouldn't be an issue.
