Oh. It needs reinforced. The pipe weld is the weakest point. That entire coil spring setup plate is not one of the best designs.
I wish they just would have made access plugs from above for the shock bolts. As that make shock changing a lot easier.
Just a design flaw. They happen.
Those bolts were probably plate alignment bolts for the frame jig when machines welded the frames together.
A pile of frame holes are only in the frame so machines and jigs can align the steel fast and machine weld the frames together as fast as the frame assembly line can do it.
