The 93 vert is sloppy in the front. I mean frame flex when putting along bumpy parts in roads. It’s currently missing the cross braces and the bumper reinforcement. I hope after I install these missing parts it will stiffin up. It’s also mouthed drivers side fender skirt. That’s getting installed too.

I finally got the factory x bracing and front bumper support installed. Big improvement in the sloppy steering column feel. Still not as stiff as my LX hatch but much better now!
 
I don’t think the bumper reinforcement will do any stiffening. That just bolts to the radiator support, that’s what holds the front end together.

Maybe not. But, the x bracing bolts to the bottom of the radiator support in close proximity to where the bumper support bolts up. As an assembly with both pieces, I think they both matter.
