Does anyone have experience with this? I replace my front lower CA on the red chevelle because it had cracked and been welded. I know I read somewhere that guys boxed there lower front CA to prevent such a crack and for safety. I am boxing my rear CR and putting in new bushings as there is a sway bar in The rear of the convertible with spacers rather than boxed CA’s.
I am thinking it would be a good project when pulling the engine this winter to box those and replace the bushing When cleaning up the engine bay.
Looks like a cost effective preventive measure. Especially after the steering column mistake a PO made on installing the tilt column in my convert . And also after a friend just had his steering column shaft separate and fall out. Good thing it happened in the parking lot of a car show.
