DS shock Tower

[M Beauchamp]

Here is a coupe pictures of the coupes DS shock tower.

The car was hit high in the front DS.

The original front apron and radiator support where in the cars, but I changed them because they had been straightened out.

The shock tower had a hole cut into it, not sure why?

you can see where i patched it.

Everything measure out fine and nothing looks bend!



Here is the only thing i can find wrong so far, right here where the bushing is rubbing the lower control arm.



I will know more when i pull the spring and upper control arm

There was some other holes drilled into the aprons because there was a 5 liter mount in it before!

Any one have any idea why someone would cut a hole in a shock tower?

I know a guy who cut holes like that in his 67 Stang....that car had a 390 and he said after a few bruised knuckles trying to change plugs he just cut the holes and put some rubber gromets in them.
