  • It's not just the torque box..

    Found out that the Axle housing is messed up. The left side was twisted when I bought it and that is what caused the control arm to bind and the torque box to break. Thank god I have another rear-end housing to swap the auburn to. The repair sure did get expensive though!

      At least it's in good hands now and you should not have to worry about that shit happening again!

            Yeah. I have the money, but I'd rather save for the blower so I can break more shit!

                  You or someone did a number on that housing. Should of had the tubes weled up and braced while it was out. Keep it from doing that shit again. You also need some subframe connectors in a bad way.

                      That was the first time he took it to the track with the new rear end. He and his dad noticed extra welds on the tubes.

                        Welds is not the word looked like someone arched batery terminals across the that thing and they where broken off the tube. If he bought it like that someone ripped him off. But it should be good to go now just get some subframes
