    Description

    This original part has been reinforced to brace the front frame rails / tie together lower control arm pivots in a superior way to the original design. This design will prevent any camber change in hard cornering. This is not needed for the average Cougar owner but if you are desiring to make your car a "Handling Machine" every bit counts and this is an inexpensive upgrade. These crossmembers are welded in house, and will be unpainted bare metal. This combined with our shock tower reinforcement plates and one piece export brace are a very good investment for you 69-70 convertible owners out there. To learn more read the BOSS 302 Chassis Modification book we have listed in our manual section. It is crucial that you use the correct tapered bolts when installing these.

    It's pretty straight forward just two bolts to mount but the crossmember. It was a a perfect fit I just lined it up and bolted it right in, no problems what so ever. The paint job wasn't to my standards so I repainted it but that wasn't that big of a deal since I thought it was going to come bare metal and was already to paint it anyway.
