Ridetech adventure
« on: May 23, 2018 - 06:47:34 AM »
last summer I started to hear so noise followed by a bang or two coming from the back of my car. I found the two upper bars were pulling out and tearing the sheet metal where they connect to the metal behind the rear seat. The kit I have is the one they still sell with the reinforcement brace on the inside of the car. I’m sure the /race save me from catastrophic failure. At. The same time the brace was pulled hard enough to leave its impression on the sheet metal as well.  I’ve been busy and only now starting to tear her back down. I bought the Reilly street lynx but that is going to take more wore than usual due to all the holes in the frame rails from the ride tech kit. I’ve got pictures but having a time figuring out how to post them up. If anyone is curious I’m running a 6.1 hemi 6 speed trans, 3:73 rear gear with 335/30/18 tire. Posting this as a heads up to those with the ridetech to maybe reinforce what you have or be be gentle haha
