It might be possible that you have build up of dirt and grime on your vehicle's frame. Clean out the corrosion in the weld nuts of your frame by spraying a lubricant, allowing it to penetrate and soften the grime and corrosion. Scrub the lubricant with a wire brush to loosen the grime and corrosion.
