Well ! The day has finally come and we changed the rear Cross Member.

Very happy with the results and can’t wait to try the car.

Does that four link bracket from Wild Rides have a kink in it as it welds to the crossmember?

Both sides are that way. Must be by design.

chiturr, any chance of some more pics showing the angle of those brackets from various positions? Just trying to figure out why they welded them in like that....

Getting the car back tomorrow. Will get more pics ... here are more i took 2 days ago.

And yes there’s a lip angle at the bottom. I bet it makes it way more rigid.
