i will cold weld the top of tube to strut regardless to make all kosher. but my road tests rock in corners. very small body roll at 85 around a nice turn speed limit 55. on bad tires. not even pushing limits i would not dare yet with condition of tires. but my new ones are in and i got to get the on. but first pulling the rears off to tighten and welding top then a nice solid allignment. and its all gravy for the new mich hydros. and off to the mo.
