Couldn’t have been more perfect had this exact same problem while install my Umi rear LCA and sub frame noticed the front was dented so had to figure out a way to do it and I thought about longer bolts. But this works too much appreciated 🙌🏻
Post like this, keep me trying to share information. Thank-you for the comment
Thanks man you convinced me to get em
Late response, I miss this comment. I am glad this video helped you. Thank-you for commenting back then. Did you ever purchased the subframe connectors and get them install?
Getting her ready for the summer huh
Hopefully, things are starting to come together
I know it's been a few years, but do you remember having any trouble torquing those back bolts? My SFCs have been on for a while, but over the last few years I've been getting a lot of loud thuds every time I hit even a small bump. I think those bolts may have loosened a bit, but i can not get a torque wrench on there to save my life. Any suggestions?
Nothing here…. Only thud, I had in the rear was my torque arm hitting the tunnel… A lot A lot A lot of hammering to clearance it. Like it was hitting, and I didn’t know how bad… That it started cutting/piercing thru the metal.
i am searching for "F body UMI subframe connectors" on the internet and cant find any that look like yours? All the ones i'm finding are square metal.......I like the tubular much better. Do you have a link to purchase these please?
I purchased them from Summit racing. Here is a link: www.summitracing.com/parts/upi-2070-r/make/pontiac/model/firebird/year/2002
do you have any issues with them making noise or making the car creak?
None at all. The only upgrade that I have mix feeling about is the chassis mount torque arm
Will these subframe connectors work on a convertible?
I’m not sure.
Will factory rear lower control arm work?
Yes they will work. . I have had both factory and aftermarket controls with the subframe connectors installs. It did this testing ride quality one day. It made no difference in my case. I re-installed the aftermarket control arms.
Another question my subframe broke where that control arm goes, can I use this instead of getting the frame fixed? When driving things rear end shakes left n right really bad over bumps , kinda need a bandaid till I can afford to get the frame fixed
@@jjdachamp330 dude idk. In my mind, it might work as a band-aid temporarily. But seems like a lot going on there. I would want a good repair via welding and sub-frames for sure.
No welding ??
All bolt on.
What year f body is that:?
2002 Pontiac Trans am WS6
@@RocketGarageService Hell yeah
homemade...subframe connectors....🤔 explain
The previous owner took square tubing, welded thick flat plates to the tubing. And bolted it to the car.
Loose the Gay watch !
I do have a Fitbit now LOL...
What part # are these, I asked UMI about these and they don't have bolt ons.
