Question for those who know

Hi guys,
My question is this. After welding in my Sub frame connectors, I was told I may want to change the body bushings so the frame doesn't crack from absorbing vibrations over time. Is their any truth to this?

There are no body bushings.

To the OP: Whoever installed your SFCs clearly wasn't paying much attention under the car, and/or doesn't know much about 4th gen F-bodies. There are no such bushings to change in this application.

If you bother changing the body bushings, you might as well top off the blinker fluid and swap out the muffler bearings while you're down there.

Don't forget to tighten the loose nut behind the wheel too.
