Lol, love the camaro video. Ya, it probably is a good idea to weld them. The video show cars with lots of HP, not stock cars. And why would DJM say that a weld isn't necessary? Are we talking about the right part to weld on?
This is the kind of
Spring Perch I'm talking about. As far as why they said you don't need to weld them, well unless they make a none welding in kit that some how uses the stock spring perch some way to hold everything into place(You got pictures of the kit??) is the only way I think it could possibly be done.
Casey I'll tell you short tale of what happened to me on one of my own projects.
I had everything together & was setting up the pinion angle on the rearend. Had everything in place and tightened down but not welded. For whatever reason I needed to move the truck & thought "well hell I have the u-bolts real tight so I should be able to move it w/o any problems". I started up the truck & put it in gear & almost immediately the rear end spun between the u-bolts & perches then stopped. I had spun the rear end around enough that I had the driveshaft in such a bind that the truck wouldn't move. After I pulled it apart & put everything back in place I was really surprised I didn't just pull the driveshaft out of the trans because it was ~~>*<~~ that close to doing it...Joe
