Stop in for a cup of coffee

My LCA's front and rear sections are tied only because that's how we made up the sway bar bar tab.
I did add some extra 'spot welds' to the k-member. I don't know how comparable that is to the early K's. They all have they're own strengths and weaknesses, hence referencing @CPDave experiences. I do think the middle generation have a better steering box mount than the later version.

My replacement K has the Firm Feel reinforcement kit already applied...I'm sure that will feel better. The steering box is an OEM manual so nothing special there.
