    Thanks it is the exhaust that gets in the way and all the fender mounts. But I guess thats easier the shortning up the A arms. So I need to be creative with exhaust, engine mounts and a sway bar...........Jim

    If you narrow the crossmember or change control arm lengths either one, just be aware that you are changing the instant center and all the characteristics that make that particular front end geometry work properly.
