What are they? Where are they? I've heard they get damaged easily, and i'd like to check mine.

TIA

anyone?

I've heard them mentioned, but don't have a clue.

A guess would be a housing attached to the rear axel hubs. Used for jacking points.

They're the mounting points for your rear control arms. I was told by HP Motorsport that SN95 'stangs don't need reenforcements for them like some of the foxbodies, but we'll see...

Yep, its the box where the lower control arms bolt to. They have a tendency to get stress cracks after while

u will feel them if they bust. i broke mine on my 91 hatch. it feels like the whole axle is comin out from under the car when u rape on it.

I had my rear lower torque boxes welded in just incase they crack. It cost $50.

Exactly. I think I'm still gonna weld mine up when I swap the arms, it's only gonna cost me $0 at a friends shop. SVTCobra306 Ft. Polk is just a skip and jump from Lafayette.

Yeah, I know where Lafayette is, my ex-g/f was from there. She's still stationed in Germany, though..

We'll have to meet up sometime, there's quite a few Cobra's up here, although there's only two 5.0 Cobras that I know of..
