Idler arm bolt holes are a huge weakness. I have had them totally sh!t out there and had them never bend them there. Last several I have had bent there bad. What do you guys think about trying to use a Chrysler side mounted shock to cover the idler arm holes up?....

Your front tires would rub them when you turn if you put them on the outside of the frame rail.

Well I do one of two things with my cars
Weld the whole closed and grind it smooth.. If they don't need to see in the frame
Or I get washers and welded it around the whole, you can still see in the frame and its goin to keep it from bending in the whole
I know its not a great fix.. But I was alway told the frame is going to bend in the weaks point (wholes) now they don't always bend at the whole but each car is different
