Is the rear shock cross member on other cars only tacked to the frame rails? I can't believe it. The damn thing just flaps in the breeze. At first I though the welds to the floor broke, but it doesn't appear to have been assembled that way.
1x1 tubing for the new crossmember?My Mirada always made a strange boing sound when going over bumps. I couldn't find anything loose so I made a heavier version out of tubing since the crossmember seemed to be the flimsiest part in that area. I'm sure the shocks are more effective now and the sound is gone.
