[pat in Santa Cruz]

I have worked on many A's with FOMs. The only ones with straight frames were the ones that had recently been installed. Essentially, they all were sagging much more at the motor mounts than I have found on A's with original mounts.. The ones with FOm and without the trans mount sag so bad the hood is way out of alignment. In the worst cases the frame twists out at the bottom as it drops and the doors stick. The more miles on the car with those things, the worse the cars have been.
