Subframe Connectors

blue00gt · 09-12-2001, 06:26 PM

If you look at the underside of your stang, there are rectangular tubular-looking parts on either side that somewhat resemble frame rails running from front to back on the front and rear subframes. These parts do not run the whole length of the car, thus you add subframe connectors to connect them. Most subframe connectors I have seen have a part that runs perpendicular to the connector with holes where the front seats bolt into the car (Fox body floorpans are notorious for tearing at these spots after awhile), so if you find where the seat is attached to the floor under the car and look directly towards the front and back of the car from right between these two points, you will see the 'rails' that the connectors weld to.
