    Ok so many of you know that by some unholy force of nature i managed to break my front diff mount on my fabtech cross member. Well i pulled the xmember out and welded it and put in some gussets for support and i put it back in. But now the drive shaft mount ring on the front diff is rubbing on the frame(as in where you cut to put in the fabtech xmember). Is there a side to side adjustment for this? Will an alignment fix it?

    And i Ordered a new Cross member because the diff mount tab broke, but it doesn't align side to side. It is fine up and down.
