Re: PROLINE SUSP WITH HAIRLINE CRACKS??

How expensive are proline rails?  Is there an axle in front of the cracks?  If so, I would probably replace.  Better safe than sorry at speed.

I have seen 136" wahls do that too , we added in a plate and welded it in to be safe and stop any flexing.

Ihave a proline that did that in my 99 mach but the proline was an earlier model and proline does not make the part anymore so I had it just welded not plated and it has been holding fine and this rail had actually snapped in half
