FRONT CROSSMEMBER?

Post by Bullit »

Looks like I may need a new one as while pulling the engine out, I noticed the P.O. welded angle iron strips to the back of the front crossmember. Why would anyone do that? Anyway, Is it possible to get a "NEW" one somewhere?

Maybe the PO thought it would strengthen the cross member. Can you grind the welds down and remove the angle iron, thus saving the one you have?

Removed the angle iron that was welded to the crossmember and found no reason for them to be there... MOVING on now...
