Front Clip Alignment
When we started driving the GT we quickly noticed the front clip shaking slightly left to right. A way to stop the lateral movement was needed. The solution was very simple. Two automotive rubber door stops were placed on either side of the front clip. An under sized hole was drilled and the rubber stops pushed into place. They are about 5/16” high, just enough to hold the clip snug. They also center the front clip on the spider and eliminate all lateral movement.
The center of the front clip tended to sag a bit in the middle where it meets the spider. This was easily resolved with two automotive rubber door stops, spaced to rest under the center vent. They are about 5/8" high. Undersized holes were drilled and the stops pushed into place with a bit of silicone to make sure they stayed put. Now the seam between the spider and the front remains level and straight.
We found a good selection of rubber stops at the local True Value store.
These inexpensive, simple additions worked very well.
