Dewders Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I haven't been here for a LONG time, and I still see there are enough bitches about those rotten a## frames! Has anyone come up with a decent solution or repair yet? Mines still hangin in there, but it's sounding awfully funny over the railroad tracks! Still running like a champ with 235,000 on the body! I'll just keep going until she folds in half some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Check your crossmember right where the rear tire is, mine was making funny noises too, turns out it was the broken off crossmember hitting the differential. Not a pretty picture but im still working on finding a solution to my problem too. Edited July 29, 2006 by redfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
