Front Suspension Support Tool

[ralt962 11]

An old Chiltons manual I have recommends using a support tool between the frame and front upper control arm.  They claim shock damage if not used.  I was wondering if that is something that is commonly used.  Still finishing my car and still have the old shocks on it so have not worried about this issue.   

I have the drawing from Chiltons that shows the steel piece  at 7 3/8" tall.  

thanks,

Pretty sure we have discussed this here before ?  Your Shop Manual also has it pictured and diagramed.  I did have a friend put a set together for me.  The Drivers side needs a small tab (pictured) added to clear the fuel line.  Brian

Thanks,  I made up a set today and went to use it on the drivers side.  There was the fuel line.  I thought there needed to be something added to keep it on the edge and note crush the line.
