Down the centre of the boot, as in front to back, or left to right? What about the rear subframe?
Your car has copped one HELL of a hiding, I am not surprised it is falling apart! She has done a top job though, all things considered 
I am paranoid, now I am going to go check my Gem out...
As for lifting wheels, the rear inside wheel will lift, the TX would lift a rear a couple of inches off the deck in the dry. Not good for traction 
Sad news, what u gonna do? |
