Default Subframe connectors welding points

For an f-body firebird. Subframe connectors by j&m products. Do you weld the bracket that connects to the rear swingarm as well? It has a mounting hole that uses the swingarm bolt as well, but will it be better to weld it as well? Also same question with the mid cross member brackets? Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand... The LCA bracket has nothing to do with the rear subframe. There's 6 inches difference between the two.

If the "connector" is designed that way it is NOT a true subframe connector, maybe more of a "jacking rail" that protects the pinch welds on the rocker and not doing much of anything for chassis rigidity.

Oh here we go again....


To answer your question simply, yes. You bolt them up to locate them, then weld them.
