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.

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.
