        Unfortunately I don't think he can do that - see his other thread, the fuel pump took a dump again

          All fixed!
          Straight Crossmember for teh win!

            we had an 88 TC in white...yea, I dont think its supposed to be liek that...I dont remember the front being so high...its not bad, but its noticable to us panther guys.
            I dont know what you would do to fix it, but if I had to guess, I might say motor mounts.

              Maaan, do you even read? It was his tranny crossmember bent outta shape, swapping in the straight one from his parts car fixed it.

                      I'm amazed it was as simple as the tranny crossmember. I wish I had known that before I spent $60+ on motor mounts a few months ago. I don't think I can even return them because it's been so long since I bought them.

                      Now I have to deal with this fucking fuel pump again. What the fuck, seriously.

                            Actually I fully installed one and let the engine down, but replaced it with the original after I noticed no improvement on the tilting issue and concluded it wasn't the motor mounts. It really wasn't as much of a pain in the ass as I expected. A swivel socket is your best friend on this, and I think that in the right circumstances I could have the original out and the new one in in under an hour.

                              if it was in, why replace it with the old one? seems like wasted effort to re-install worn out parts.

                                Because they didn't really seem all that worn out to me, and I'd rather be able to sell them. I need the money.
