This is the right side, how the x-member is supposed to be. Notice no buckle?
So I decided that x-member had to go. Got a used one in good condition from a guy and started taking stuff apart. Here is my hoopty ass setup, lol.
\
Started off by removing the power steering pump, notice how it's not completely straight? Will have to work on that during re-install.
This is the 2x4 helping the motor mounts hold the motor when I remove the x-member.
I then removed all of the steering components and unhooked the brake lines, I'm going to need to replace the front lines later on...
I'll post more tomorrow, got plenty more to go...
