Default Level 3 cms

I installed the level3 cms on my jk and the servo mount doesn't fasten to anything on the chassis. Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone made anything to fasten it in place?

I don't understand how a company can make a 'kit', that doesn't bolt up properly.... Stoopid

Seen exactly what your talking about. I'd drill the frame on both sides and drill and tap the mount to hold it in place. Good luck

looks designed to have the panhard bar keep it located on the chassis rails

I had to zip tie mine to the front shock mounts. Never had a problem with it after that. Im now using a rc4wd kit, and am much happier with the fit and quality

Yeah I agree! I pushed it up against the shock towers and put a tack weld in the frame rail up against the mount so it can't move...

Shame that guy/company/whatever is putting out parts that they claim will be a direct bolt on, no modification necessary blah blah and then there's a fundamental flaw with the design and function. I bought the CMS mount from them but it was the plate mount, that used the front battery location screw holes to mount, so it did have a attachment point, problem was, there was no way to possibly mount the servo without something binding on the front end and limiting articulation or steering. I wrote a review on the site about this but seems they don't post ANY reviews on the website even tho there's a link where you can write one. I am happy with the axle guards and steering link i bought from them (these are simple parts) they work fantastic, but i think its completely unacceptable there selling substandard parts without bothering to take customers complaints into consideration, and at least fixing and updating their products.
There's some upperlink mounts that they sell which eliminate the long arms that extend from the center on the stock plastic link mounts, but i'm afraid to even spend my money on them cause i no longer trust the ingenuity of the company and whether or not ill have problems with my links hitting each other or something like that. So having a company say "yea it fits", and not being able to trust they actually have tested it and are being truthful is terrible..
