Lower control arm stiffening plates
That was just a picture I stole off the net for an example of a the wide stiffening plate kits
This is what I did in 1997:
One 1” strap back near LCA bushing
One 1” strap under sway bar tab
One 1” strap under strut rod.
Looking back if should have put one in the middle.
At the time, I had ideas of competing in SCCA solo II E-street prepared class. Reinforcing was not legal. The heavy arc welding looks sorta stock-ish
Since I did these in 1997... I’ve been off course at Willow Springs a couple times.
1st time:
-I bent one front steel rallye rim
-bottomed out a shock (upper frame hole dimpled up
-scuffed the bottom front valence and fender
-re-mounted tire to get out rocks and earth stuck between bead and tire
2nd time
-dinged up one side of set of brand new TTI headers. From the direction of the slide.
-re-mounted tire to get out rocks and earth stuck between bead and tire
-disconnected rear sway bar afterwards.
Was.... a spotless brand new engine....
After both times....
LCA’s were not bent and aligns fine.
