HELP PLEASE!!! Shock Mount on Diff

[ib3]

I agree nothing wrong with welding something on the outside of the axle tube.

given that replacement mounts can be bought from most axle shops they are all welded on. the axle tubes are just coldrolled and take weld just fine. I would weld it and if its torn through the mount where you think it would be weak fish plate it, then you should be fine. happy fixing.

Any chance you could post a pic of the damage?

Ill post some pics tomorrow...delear told me i have 2 choices...

1- weld it at a pro
2- change the whole axle (2000$+)

Tomorrow morning im going to pick it up from dealer and i will re-weld it at a pro that i found.

I say weld it. If it doesn't hold, then you can spend the $2K.

Tomorrow Im going for the welding at 9am...ill get pics of it back on...lets hope this works and holds my new Edelbrock Performer IAS Shocks properly...we also noticed that the EdelbrockPanhard Rod was bent so I ordered a new one...now i seriously dont know how that happened since I dont even go offroading.
