hi mate just looked on your project thread. ive got a funny feeling your front subframe is flexing alot due to not having the correct strengthening bars now you dont have a fixed front end. and having a solid mounted exhaust is fine if your engine isnt moving but the engine will be moving alot with the subframe. jay.

leave some metal around the crossmember and shock mounting.
It's a high stress area so don't take too much more off.

you could go back another inch which would get rid of the piece hanging down by the shocker and have a neat edge meanwhlie there should be about an inch then before you get to the crossmember.
