I've replaced many 107 subframes that had been retrofitted with gussets.

Thank you Mike. That is what I thought. Does that mean that the retrofitted frames failed either due to inferior workmanship in the field or was it an overall bandaid approach. Are the modified subframes exactly like the new units or do the new units have more than just two webbed pieces welded to the aft control arm mounts.

Thanks
