STEP 6:
All of the previous details show a cross tube that
runs from one side of the vehicle to the other
connecting the 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 -spacer tube. These
are found on the front and rear hangers on some
models. Middle hangers on these units will not have
the cross tubes. This view shows the welding for
applications where there is not a cross tube used.
NOTE:
The cross channel shown in the diagrams is used on
some units and not others. Therefore the
instructions are the same regardless of the presence
of a cross channel.
STEP 7:
After welding is complete:
 Remove weld slag.
 Touch-up weld affected zones with a good paint/rust inhibitor.
