Question about the subframe connectors. Is there any reason I should, or should not, install them as far forward as possible? That is to say with the forward end pushed up tight against the subframe, or should I leave a small gap? Or does it not matter? I mentioned that I may get them welded, but that's not a firm decision. PTFB instructions say that welding is optional, especially if you have solid bushings. So maybe it's better to not weld?

Here's a link to the connectors in case you're not familiar.

Thanks for posting all of this information. You seemed to have purchased all the same parts I have but are farther along on the process of installation. Thanks. 😊
