    I noticed the body was leaning towards the driver's side when I first got my '73 CJ from my Dad. It was a front firewall body mount problem. The passenger side mount just below the firewall has a piece of steel rail with wood inside it, similar to the rails underneath the body. It really doesn't look factory. The driver's side mount does not have this rail, just a piece of 1/8" x 2" x 12" steel stock. At first I thought that the rail on the passenger side was just a piece welded there as a repair, but, now I'm thinking that the driver's side is missing the rail. Mainly because I have a clearance issue on the steering knuckle hitting my new fenderwell headers. Which side is correct? Maybe some pics? Thanks!
