Product InformationThe subframe connector is welded to the uni-body portion of the chassis, not bolted and do not attach to the leaf spring front bracket bolts. Those bolts are 3/8 of an inch in diameter and are held in place with small nut clips and will not hold up.
The subframe connector sandwiches between the factory frame and the body. It can be bolted or welded. Welding is always the best, but in this case it is not as practical. If the car is in a collision, the frame needs to be replaced by unbolting the subframe: bolting to the original frame works because the material of the factory frame is 3/16” thick, all the sides are being bolted. Interloc body mount bushings should be used if subframes are installed
