Question
Hi,
Put strut tower brace on and got under frame brace too. This one has 4 bolts and I couldn't get 4 lined up. Three bolts in and the last one was off atleast by half the hole. Is it normal you should have to adjust the under carriage? How would this move because the parts people said the parts are made to strict tolerances? Thanks for your input.

Answer
Mike-

  If the car is lacking subframe connectors then chances are the frame is just sagging from years of use.  It's really pretty common amongst Fox body Mustangs since their subframe design leaves much to be desired as far as structural integrity goes.  I suppose you could always drill out the hole on the brace to fit, but that sort of voids the point of having it in the first place.  Hope this helps.
