CHASSIS
BRACES
GM didn't dot all their I's and
cross all their T's when they built the G-body/metric chassis (Monte SS,
Regal/Grand National, GranPrix. Etc.). The front frame horns were left
without a crossmember and the bumper, mounted in movable energy absorbing
mounts can't do the job. Some G body cars have skinny thin walled braces
added to try and stiffen the structure up but it was too little, too late.
The result is a frame that deflects under heavy loads and a steering box
that's hanging out there imparting all it's steering load on just one
frame rail. SC&C's heavy duty tubular chassis brace fixes that factory
oversight. It bolts under the chassis taking the place of the thin factory
braces with larger 1.25"diameter, 120" wall 1026 steel tubing
welded into a triangulated and gusseted structure that ties the two frame
rails firmly together. You'll notice an instant improvement in steering
response, chassis stiffness, handling, and a welcome reduction in squeaks
and rattles. |
