You must have skipped page 2... It's almost rusted OFF. The welds will be good enough to hold it and prevent it from even holding the bar.
Maybe reinforced was the wrong word. More like 'better than it was'.

I did miss that, however it should have been done using a filler piece welded in, instead of putting insane amounts of heat into an already weakened area because it looks like all that was done was weld metal shoved into a gap.
I do recommend cutting it all out, and making a new mount out of new metal. This is a great opportunity to do a panhard lift on the axle, which many recommend over a bar drop.

I've been noticing a noise coming from the drivers side rear and finally had time to check it out this weekend.
Noise is coming from the top of the shock. I took a quick video and pushed down on the rear to duplicate the noise.
Thoughts?
^ click the picture for the link to the video.
Looks like it's loose? Is this 'normal'?

Hard to tell from my phone... But it looks like the upper mount is moving around a bit... Could just be some metal on metal contact? Hopefully you just need to tighten the upper mount.
