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

For the connectors it is a design issue..actually more of a cost issue...but the fit and finish issue rests squarely on the shoulder of the people that did the work..it was shoddy at best..

I actually thought my K frame had been mangled in an accident...I gather that this is what they look at..yeah..the person working on it was responsible..

I also had a '71 MG that I rebuilt The welds were beautiful...who ever worked on that car had pride..

We can go on..stripes being put on the cars ..the left side being different than the right..whomever installed the floor panels on my car couldn't be bothered to get it right because they left a triangular hole...who do I blame for this ? The accounts receivable clerk ?

Not sure if you lived through that era but it is probably the biggest reason that the jap cars got a hold in North America..

I should also note that the big three still cannot produce a car that can do high mileage and require the minimum of repairs..which is a screaming shame..
