      Help, gmod issues possibly

      So, yesterday I performed the guldstrand mod on the LH side of my subframe only to notice the second hole I drilled toward the rear is on somewhat of a curved part of the control arm mount. I was wondering is this normal because wouldn't the integrity of the bolt head be compromised of strength being on an un even surface? I'll get some pics up shortly. I USED THE GULDSTRAND TEMPLATES I BOUGHT, SO I KNOW THE TEMPLATES ARE CORRECT.







      I know the shims should help with the hump in the middle

      It usually comes out just above that bend. You can heat the area below and bump it in, also do the area between the holes that wants to interfere with the shaft. You usually will have two shims per bolt, but it varies depending on ride height and camber setting. The first shim can be trimmed shorter to insure it doesn't hit the bulge, no need to grind the shaft as the shim should take care of it on a "normal" G mod. Yours is worse than normal so you have to do some rework.
