Im working on my 3rd location for hydro mounts. I dont like welding them straight to the tie rod or track bar, so Im now gonna use some mad 4wd clamps on 1.5 tubing. with the ford (88kp) 60, its really tight to mount a ram to the tie rod with radius arm caps, track bar mount and drag link.
Anyone have some ingenous ways they resolved their issues?
how much strain would be placed on the gearbox and frame horn if i mount to the drag link instead. With the SAS, Im already concerned about taxing the crumply zone.
