i was referring to that knocking noice back there when that front diff mount goes. yes, i should've worded it better. but i'm beat. too tired...



just wanted to share some of my findings. now i'm off to find another subframe? er what can i say. i've only had this car if 6 months.




i meant what does it sound like and when does it happen?

just reinforce it a bit. try to add more metal around the area that you are welding to. Then clean off all the rust and paint it. Rust makes things weak, they are stress risers




i got another subframe sourced out. the next task at hand is to find a place to get it reinforced.



make that part of the bracket thicker and all that's left to do is find slightly longer bolts for the mounts.

actually, i was just driving home from work. wasn't pushing it. then i heard a loud ass thump. and that was two months ago. haven't had the time to check it until now.



vosko: i'm lost. i don't know of what you speak of



lol

he sells adjustable custom lateral links that are much stronger..... he was supposed to post on here

13b_junkie 01-05-2005 09:11 PM

oh, lateral links. i forgot i posted about those in here too. i still had that subframe bracket in my head. i'll definitely drop him a line. my friend had an extra set. but i might as well get something stronger. i'm redoing much of the rear while it's apart anyway.
