Well, I did the MM subframes, MM strut tower brace, and MM K-member brace all at once. It made a world of difference, especially at high speeds during my high speed morning commutes to work.

I'll be selling this one pretty soon, as the MM K-member uses a two point brace instead of four.

Well, here is something interesting. Why would they weld the number 291 on the radiator support? Has anyone seen this before? Is it a part/vehicle type code or is it just someone leaving their mark?



Well, the engine bay is cleaning up nicely. I haven't started on the driver's side yet.



Does anyone know what these following two items are? The object with the bar code in the first picture, and the one with the pinkish wires under the radiator core support in the second picture.

I think you're right. There's another on the driver's side.

Does anyone know if I can just cut the sensor wires out of the harness? I don't want the airbag sensors. I also do not want to do something wrong by cutting the wires and then causing the bags to go off when connecting the battery. I've got no idea how the system works. All of my harnesses are cut open as I'm hiding/removing/changing things around. There won't just be two ugly snipped wires there.

If you disconnect the battery, cutting the wires shouldnt matter, however youll probably get a warning light when you put it all back together
