torque boxes

Ive been talking about different control arms. I have heard of wreacking my torque boxes. I seem them on ebay for Fox bodies. Do I need to get these or what?

You want the ones with a poly bushing on one end, and a spherical bushing on the other, to prevent bind. Double poly bushings will wreek havock on your torque boxes, and from what i have read will present some crappy handling characteristics.

I've heard of some people's boxes tearing with stock vehicles. I have never had any trouble with mine but some places sell replacements. Here is a link u might want to try http://www.wildridesracecars.com/chassis3.html

Thanks, Ive learned a lot in the past day. Basically sperical on one end and on the other poly.

If you plan on racing the car, which I'm sure you are, you should ALWAYS (at least) weld the torque boxes. You really should reinforce them. Launching a car hard on slicks, or any sticky tire, do lots of chassis damage over time.
