Went to mock up the SpeedTech controls arms before I went to reinforce the front cross-member.
They're purdy...
Blast! They don't fit...
For this problem, SpeedTech recommends using all-thread and two nuts. But I was too lazy to cut some all-thread, not to mention constantly un-threading the nut(s) to check if I'd opened it enough...
...took literally 2 seconds to remove the spreading bolt to check bushing clearance, made this task waaaay less annoying. For those that have no idea what I'm doing, you un-screw the nut on the bolt to spread open the cross-member to make more room for the control arm bushing...
Success...
Here is the flimsy culprit. I could actually pinch this C-channel together a bit with two hands...
Boxing C-channels is always a good call for rigidity. Figure the extra 1-2lbs should definitely be worth it for any increase in stiffness...
I'll do the next side tomorrow, my stomach was too hungry to continue tonight...
Wow thanks for sharing!
