rear trailing arm braces

Subject: rear trailing arm braces Mon Feb 11, 2013 8:06 pm

i was thinking the mounts for the rear lower control arms looks weak and was thinking of boxing it up. i saw in hot rod dec 2012 they had a buick skylark that they used a brace from ccp thatbeefs up the mount. here it is http://www.classicperform.com/Store/1964_1972_Chevelle_Elcamino/6467TAMB.htm

they say it is adjustable was wondering if it would work on our cars what do you guys think ? Has anyone done anything to beef up this area?

i was thinking of welding a flat plate across the top of mount. i also think i could do this on upper arms mount but i dont have a pic. i think i would just have to make sure when the arms go up thay dont hit the plate
