Trailing Arm/ Rear Subframe Reinforcement Question

[88Sedan]

With regard to trailing arm/ subframe reinforcement I understand what the pieces welded in are supposed to do with one exception. Specifically I am wondering about the pieces that triangulate the subframe where the trailing arm bushings mount.

I would have thought some flexibility in those tabs is a design feature so that it tightens up onto the bushing sleeve properly during torquing. Does that part of the rear subframe ever even get damaged outside of accidents?

Essentially my concern is that after these pieces are welded in that it would no longer properly squeeze the bushing. I am NOT adding toe/camber adjustment because for my desired ride height it really isn't worth the hassle/expense. I would also have to drive far for an alignment shop that would agree to deal with that.

I am building my car so that the chassis is ready if I ever 24V swap it. I already reinforced the front subframe and the rear is torn apart now for full rebuild.

The longitudinal tabs are already in effect gusseted by the lateral piece (connecting the two tabs) that forms a C-channel in plan view and realistically i don't think these significantly affect/stiffen the longitudinal tabs to the point the pin wont get clamped (welding the adjusters which thickens this area does not stop the clamping action). i also think it is not necessary for these gussets for most applications.

I agree. In that case I may as well use them since I will have other things to weld too. Thanks.
