Below are two photos of the front control arm mounts on the front crossmember of the 57 Tbird. They are different and I am trying to determine if there are parts missing or mismatched causing alignment problems. I am not sure what to make of the differences as they were this way when I purchased the car 10 plus years ago. Any explanation on the assembly, adjustments, torque specs, etc. would be a great help. Thanks.




57 Black Tbird 312/auto
