So, yesterday I performed the guldstrand mod on the LH side of my subframe only to notice the second hole I drilled toward the rear is on somewhat of a curved part of the control arm mount. I was wondering is this normal because wouldn't the integrity of the bolt head be compromised of strength being on an un even surface? I'll get some pics up shortly. I USED THE GULDSTRAND TEMPLATES I BOUGHT, SO I KNOW THE TEMPLATES ARE CORRECT.

I know the shims should help with the hump in the middle

Your ok.

If you wanna make life easier, tack weld the bolt heads. This way you just need 1 wrench to loosen or remove the UCA.

one thing I thought of is tacking the first few shims in that area so they stasy put...since they dont seat all the way down they have a tendency to move around until tight...but it really doesnt matter.
