: : I just pulled the motor out to prepare new one; no problem. Started to replace upper controll arm bushings and found out that it don't take or have bushings. Two big bolts on ends, two bolts through the shaft go into shock towers. Shock towers are all cracked and busted.Two main cracks on both sides, one missing bolt hole by about an 1/8 inch. Anyone know what I'm talking about. Shock towers welds are noticeable from someones previous work on it, but breaks look much worse.
: : Wondering about full shock tower cut and weld replacement, but have no clue as what to do but try to reweld it.72 grabber for those who dont know.(VIN# says 72 but date of safety bull@%&! says 10/71 "rickyracer"
: : SUGGESTIONS PLEASE ABOUT HAD MY FILL ON THIS ONE.
: Slammed on the brakes at 50mph. Ripped the passenger side tower, but got it welded. Was fine after that.
: You might look into a Mustang II frontend. Take the towers out all together, unless you have a good doner, with good towers. Should weld right in.
Is that true that they are not suppose to have upper bushings.I bought a pair, but it don't look possible to put any on.
