so ill ge getting my drivers side notch because its holding me up 1/4in and it really bugs me..

i know that after the drivers side notch the next things that could hold it up would be the tierods..

who has had the frame notched for tie rods, has pics or the procedure to do it? im thinking and air hammer could hammer in some small dimples just enough to let the tierod in?


getting my car from the body shop today

Ive heard the air hammer method works fine.

I used a cutting wheel and cut 2 slots about the width of the tie rod, then used an air hammer to pound the center of it up. On the passenger side, I just used a grinder and ground a notch in.
