XV Chassis Stiffening - Video shows how cars FLEX

[dqhemi]

We put together this video which really shows how much flex there is in stock Mopars and how much our stuff reduces that flex.

The video was shot while the car was on a 4-post rig running opposite corners of the car in pairs at the same time - i.e. Front Right and Rear Left wheels get lifted, then the opposite - Front Left and Rear Right.

It's pretty interesting stuff.

Here's some pics of the pieces that we developed.

just curious, but why do those sub frame connectors look like that? is there a reason that you did not use a straight edge on it?


actually nevermind. i see why now.

They are laser cut, contoured to the floor pan. Once you weld them in and paint them they disappear and look factory.
