Strut tower stress cracks...?

[prigo]

Yea, I have a '93 coupe, and the rear strut towers are cracking pretty good. Im runnin AGX's and Eibach springs all around, and I do put A LOT of miles on the car (22k this year).

Anyone else have this problem? Or is it because I drive like an ahole in the canyons when I'm working?

[prigo]

Noone? So this isn't a common problem?

hm... never heard of it... maybe you car already have had problems in the past? bent frame?

I drive pretty reckless in my car too, especially around turns and I have yet to have problem in the front/fear sway/tie/strut bars

I had all 5 bars upgraded on my integra (didn't upgrade front sway) and it was fine

Perhaps this is a good excuse for some good ol' stitch welding!

Have any pictures... this is quite a rare case.

Ill take some. We had welded it before, this isnt the first time.

It prolly all originated with the previous owner (it was on cut coils)

crap. you'll prolly need some iron plate or something welded up onto there.

i've never seen that happen before.

Was there a rust problem with the vehicle?

[prigo]

Nope, completely free of rust.

Oh well, I smacked a pole yesterday on accident, I'm gonna hang onto the car, re-weld the cracks, up in a rollcage, and throw a S13 front end on it.Oh well, I smacked a pole yesterday on accident, I'm gonna hang onto the car, re-weld the cracks, up in a rollcage, and throw a S13 front end on it. :ylsuper

[Fenvy]

how much is the roll cage

[prigo]

Depends on if I go to someone, or get a friend to weld it in.
