Have you looked to see if your control arms have slack in them or to see if anything is tearing out there?

don't spend twice, whenever you get a set of FULL LENGTH subframe connectors, it SHOULD come with a set.

When I bought mine sub frame connectors, I priced all over the place and never saw where that was an option. When I bought the boxes, most people I asked about them did not even know what I was asking for. Where did you find them that come with the connectors?

Just weld em up unless they have started to tear. I welded mine and launched hard on slicks hundreds of times and they are still fine.

They also have holes in them for the LCA to mount back in and a steel plate for inside the car that it bolts to with the bottom brace.

These were the subs I bought and that metal plate that you see on there was uses as a reinforcement. It doesn't interfere with the lca and it closed up the box, not completely.

Maximum Motorsports and Global West sell sweet full length subs...and those companies dont even sell torque box reinforcements. I dunno about Griggs but I dont think they sell them either.

Click to expand...

both companies recommend using ford heavy duty uppers with new bushings... they do not recomend anything hard due t the weakness in that area. they say torque box plates are just a temp fix. thats why i am going torque arm and panhard bar.
