Also finding the hardware that flexes, k members, cross members, motor mount plates, frame horns, frame itself… that stuff too.

The subframe is fully welded, not just spot welded and seam sealed from the factory. it will also be braced to keep it from twisting. controll arms wihttp://shift518.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=714160ll be plated to start and later we will make some DOM tuber arms.

good advice. all the motor/trans mounts are modified, subframe is welded up to unibody… maybe a set of front tires will fix everything.
