Default Aftermarket rear control arms.

I'm pretty sure the Southside bars just wrecked my torqueboxes.

Never been on a tire and it's stock.

My bad, my question was in the general tech section.

https://mustangforums.com/forum/gene...forcement.html

This thread was just a thought I wanted to share and see if anyone else seen or had this problem.

I'm definately going to address the reinforment issue but my main concern is the stress just moving to somewhere else.
Instead of the twisting being localized to the torquebox, now the twisting is going to be spread to the frame.

The South side bars are solid bushing so the way I see it is they do not allow for articulation. Your thoughts?
