    You guys should include end caps for the subframe connectors so when water and debris gets in there it keeps it from rusting from the inside out

    two post lift is not recommended but I could in theory lift it from the rear K member mount and the rear mounting points for the rear control arms? *cough cough* unofficially?

    • @foxfordcatguy2283
      @foxfordcatguy2283 5 років тому

      adamska2012 Yeah, I don't see how putting jackstands under the front control arms and rear axle is any different than a drive-on lift. It still has the full weight of the car on all 4 corners. Suspension wouldn't be hanging. Not level, but don't know if that really matters.
      I don't work in a shop anymore and I don't trust ANYONE else to do ANY work on ANY of my cars.

    These connectors can be made longer?. I need them for a Fairmont wagon. I just received them in Monterrey, Mexico, but they are about 10 inches short. Can I just add more steel?

    • @latemodelrestoration
      @latemodelrestoration  Місяць тому +1

      These subframe connectors are specifically designed for Fox Body Mustangs. Longer wheelbase Fox chassis cars will require you to extend the length of the connectors if you want to attach them to the lower torque box. Just match the tubing size and add a section. -Landan

    Just ran across this vid while researching lower control arm replacements.The 03 mach1 already has subframe connectors. Are these beefier. I haven't been under mine in a while and it sits pretty low. Just figured I would ask rather than go out in the rain,lay in the mud,and Jack the car up for a 3 minute investigation. Thanks

      @Svt-Mustang lifestyle Thanks. Sorry,forgot about checking back because my son has had the car since I had asked the question an hadn't received a reply. Again, thanks.As stated before,The mach1 came with factory connectors but, not sure if they should be upgraded (if it would do any good over what it already has).

      While many of the products we sell may fit other vehicles, our expertise on the fitment and application of these parts & accessories ranges from 1979 to 2004 Mustangs. To best answer questions about fitment not related to these industry specifics, we would suggest personal research into social channels and/or other automotive communities for fitment confirmation.

    • @vondy4956
      @vondy4956 3 роки тому +1

      Hey man, try and see if it's the actual door mechanism on the hinge. They have a tendency to become loose and sag, causing the door to be hard to open. If that's not the case, then your frame has warped.

  • @iggyvasconcelos7191

      They dont sag for no reason...
      You'll either find rust/rot in the floors, torque boxes, and front frame rails under the strut towers.
      Little ways to tell, but are not 100% gaurantees, are cracked windshields, cracking at the door pillar and windshield area, doors that are hard to open and close, excessive twisting and creaking when slowly driving over curbs, especially with the steering turned.
      Hope this helps!

      splash Yeah, around here curbs have "breaks" or "aprons" at driveways, parking lots, etc. so you don't have to drive over an 8 inch (or higher) curb.
