My dad is pretty old-fashion thinking hard headed cocky person.
Im completly opposite of him, hence why he doesnt like me as a son.
^ Thats the thing, it DOESNT appear attached to the strut tower. Just imagine, when the car goes over a hill at high speed, goes airborn, the 1st thing to hit the ground is the front wheels. The line right in front of the firewall is flexed. Think of a folder with binders. Even though that the car has a chassis to keep it stiff, it doesnt do a good job at it.
Ever wonder why 240s are so light? look under the car; almost everything is flat, and the frame isnt much of a frame at all.
