Stitch welds on subframe connectors...

I had my SLP weld-in subframe connectors installed on Wednesday.

When I picked the car up, I checked the stitch welds on the outer side of the beams, and I'm wondering if something wasn't done right.

The pinch seam down the underside of the car seems to get further away from the SFC the farther back it goes. This kept the shop from putting the stitch welds all the way down the side.

There are three 1-1.5" welds on each side though, do you think this should be sufficient?

This is in addition to the welding and bolts that are in all the other locations.

Re: Stitch welds on subframe connectors...

The seam is not parallel w/ the SFC. I had to modify mine (i.e. beat the hell out of it) to get the seam close enough to weld. I did mine in 2" intervals (2" bead, 2" gap).
