Ok so I was trying to put the solid motor mounts on my frame today. I was working on the passenger side first. When I put the bolts in I noticed the bottom of the mount was off the frame. Then I got to looking at the frame and seen that on both sides it kinda has a crease. Is this a problem anybody else has had? I don't know if the frame is messed up or whats going on. Here are the pictures to try to show what I am talking about. Am I using the wrong holes?

Here is the drivers side you can kinda see the crease its by the long hole.

And that is what I am worried about. I hope I don't have to start looking for a new frame.

if you remove the lower control arm you should be able to get a drift punch in that area to get rid of the depression
