2001 Pontiac Trans Am

Because all four wheels must be loaded during the subframe connector install (to replicate chassis flex as it sits on the ground), it is impossible to weld them in using our style two-post lift. We need to drop the car on the ground and, with the front wheels resting on the floor, use jackstands under the rear axle (not the frame--the red stands you see are only there as a safety precaution). The subframes are then heavily tacked into place before lifting back up to complete the welding. Made from 1 5/8-inch, 0.120 wall, DOM seamless tubing, these subframe connectors are intended to enhance chassis stiffness without compromising ground clearance.
