Re: [Chrysler300] 300C body mount production change?

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is common for all '57 Chryslers and Imperials to have problems with the 
idler arm bracket.  On C converts that we have had the problem is nearly 
universal.  Also have had it with a '57 Imperial.  Never was a really big 
deal to fix but we have bought some cars with ugly welds that although ugly 
did work just fine.  Always had the ones that broke for us fixed locally by 
a friend with no problems.

Regards,

Nancy Kramer
