Torque boxes

[john67]

I'm just curious what problems you guys have had with your torque boxes and how you may have fixed them. Mine were in really bad shape from years of drag racing. I had a friend who was a good welder do some patch work but that just prolonged the enevitable. I finally had to take a serious look at how to fix this problem once and for all. I ended up getting a kit from SSM. Not sure if they still make it but I would assume so. It is a complete replacement deal, not a patch kit. It has thick wall plate and square tubing welded into a assembly that completely replaces the existing boxes. They took a considerable amount of work to install but they are bullet proof. Now I need to do something with the upper mounts.

I have never run into too much trouble with the torque boxes cause I have never had rotted ones. I never made too many passes on DR's or Slicks in any of my cars. Everyone I know who has issue just gets Battle Boxes.
