    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Once i saw some guys at a shop doing a MII kit on an old truck. The strut rod goes in the rear and its like a solid bar deal. It didnt line up with the frame rail so they just heated it up with a torche and bent it to line up. It didnt seem hard at all. I asked them if heating the rod weakens it, but they said thats how theyve always done it with not one failure.

    That is how we did it when we installed a MII in a 33 Plymouth I owned, in 1985. The car is still running it today.
