Car has 100k miles and the carfax was clean when I picked it up. It has no subframe connectors.

What can I do to keep it from getting worse? Is it caused by body flex? I will be getting SFCs installed soon.

I would install some sub frame ties asap.. It prob wont stop it but will help..Cars are soo poorly assembled theses days. If you have the ability to fix it I would just grind that crap out, use some panel bond or something similar, sand it smooth and make it look nice..then repaint the quarter..

I've got the same thing, same color too lol.




I've been told it's just the seam sealer that's cracking. Haven't gotten it fixed.

It was there when I bought the car. The driver side has been wrecked (pulled out sail panel speakers and looked inside, found bondo squeezing though.. sucks... I paid for a non wrecked car lol), but pass side is great.

Car was putting out ~400hp/tq through a 6 spd, with 122k on the clock, when I bought it, and didn't have SFCs... I've since installed some UMI 3 points...

Thanks though.. glad to know I'm not the only one lol.

What year is your vehicle? Trans?

1995, t56

I know its hard to say but do you think the wreck had anything to do with this?

If its just the seam sealer then its just something from the factory so I'd assume other cars would have this issue?

Mine's '99, so I'm not sure if the year has anything to do with it. I've seen it on a few other f-bodies as well, but not all.

No clue on the wreck, as it was wrecked before I bought it.

Thanks for the info. Its somewhat reassuring to know that other cars have the same issue...hopefully its just the seam sealer like you say and the cracking won't get much worse.

...damn GM and their build quality
