Torque Boxes while I'm at it?
 
I'm getting ready to have a panhard rod and a torque arm installed. As long as I'm down there weilding things, should I go ahead and weld the torque boxes up? How about axle tubes or anything else?

Thanks.

Short an sweet baby. thats an answer http://www.mustangworks.com/interact...board/wink.gif the axles on an 8.8 are welded into the center section already, Just not completely welded like on a 9 inch. (guess its because the 8.8 axle tubes are pressfit also?)

We use the Wild Rides Torque Box Reinforcements. (as seen in most Mustang magazines) Whenever possible, I prefer to weld the reinforcements, too.
