Bolt-on Subframe Connectors Install

**6speedTAthistime** · 05-31-2008, 06:53 AM

Are there anything that i need to know or do while install them?
I puchased the UMI Bolt On Subframe Connectors.

I was worried about body flex and such. Is there a certain spot i should put the jackstands?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

You can put the car up in the air when you install them, but don't tighten them all the way until the weight of the vehicle is on all 4 tires- you want the frame loaded as it normally is when you tighten them up-

I love mine.....

A buddy of mine just put the front tires on ramps and jackstands under the rearend. It worked just fine. But that could be wrong, made a world of difference on his t/a

I just meant that the suspension and frame should be loaded, not hanging in space- as long as the weight is carried by the wheels and axle, all is good-

Did it that way today! Just tighten bolts when all 4 tires are under load. Instructions suggested that is one possible way. Got UMI bolt-ons. Glad I didn't get weld-ons. Also put on a Shock Tower Brace. Wow, what a difference! Just waiting on my KYB AGX shocks
