recently i have noticed my torque boxes are cracking has any one had this problem

 

yes.

find a good chasis shop in you'r area and have them welded up.

 

ya very common, weld em up asap

 

there are also re-inforcing kits out there too.

 

I have the wild ride battle boxes, mine were starting to crack as well. I had them welded up and battle boxes installed on the uppers and lowers. I had those welded in as well, not just bolted in.

 

wildridesracecars.com

uprproducts.com

both sell identical kits, i have the wild rides kit in my car, if you can weld it is easy to install, i did mine myself, repaired the slight ripping in my right lower and completetly welded uppers and lowers up.

have the kit installed and have every single seam welded solid.

 

cool thanks guys i guess i know what i'll be doing this weekend!

 

dumb question

What exactly are torque boxes and where are they? I keep seeing them in restoration catalogs but I cant place them anywhere (probably becuase I don tknow what they are).

 

Its the area where the control arms attach to the body at.

 

Oh. I need to look at that and get a good understanding of them. For some reason I always thought they were near the back of the car.
