NEED ADVCICE PLEASE!! Hairline crack where lower control arm connects to body
 
There's a hairline crack on the body of the car where the lower control arm connects to body of car. Has anyone noticed this on their car before. Any solutions/suggestions?

Thanks

I understand this is very common on Fox body cars. That area is called a torque box and there are reinforcement kits available to remedy this. Basically it's a weld-in steel liner for the box that prevents further stress cracking.

Call Wild Rides (any MM&FF) and get the battle boxes. I just did mine. Mine were hanging almost an inch from the car.

Thanks. Are the battle box and the torque box reinforcement kit the same thing? Mine is a 94. I guess the same applies.
