Quick Question: Subframe connectors- WHY didn't they do this from the factory?

hate to say this...i agree with you...but if you have taken one of these cars apart you can tell they (the workers) didn't give a ****.. just look at the neatness of the welds..the quality of fit...no, these cars were just slapped to together.. especially when you compare them to other cars of that era.. and they handled like **** as well...

But we love our car anyway...

I'm not sure I totally agree. I think most cars from the era were hastily assembled. Even a higher dollar car like a Corvette will frequently have evidence careless assembly. Yes, there are some bugary welds, etc...and my "Dodge" logo on the rear panel was tilted by 5*...the build quality seems pretty ok over all.

Regardless, this is a design issue. The assembly line workers can't be blamed for this.
