Pinch welds are found on unibody vehicles. In other words, our Libertys do not have a frame that is separate from the body. The pinch welds are where two component pieces are welded together.

They pound them down because the protrude into the wheel well and when you run bigger tires they will rub on that protrusion.

Hope that helps!

Look behind your front tires. there will be a 1" wide protruding piece in the fender that is the pinch weld. The piece starts at the bottom of the wheel well and runs up about 6 or 7 inches.

The only stupid question is the one not asked. I've asked this same question myself. Everyone on this forum is very helpful sometimes in a sarcastic manner though
