Default Problem with SFC's

I had some BMR boxed SFC's installed about a month ago and now have some noise on the driver side. I looked at the LCA bolts and they are tight. The problem is that the rear of the SFC's aren't welded. Does the suspension need to be loaded when I take the car back to get the rear welded or does it not really matter if the rear is welded?

Yes I recommend the rear to be welded, for some reason I see many shops do this.

Also keep it loaded while welding just to be safe.

Good luck,
Ryan

Thanks, I wish it would have been done right first.

Mine were welded front and bolted/welded rear while one a bodylift.this didnt allow the center to "sag" as it would when it sits on its wheels. Not that the sag is much to even consider a issue.

Loaded only, no other way.
