Rusted Rear Control Arm Driver's Side - Any chance of repair?

[msamer72]

If you are capable of dropping the tank I’m sure you can get yourself a cheap welder and put enough booger welds on there to pass inspection. Passenger side isn’t that hard if you can get the exhaust off, easy to get to

Otherwise I’d give you like $100 for it, I’ll come get it tomorrow

:lol::evil: Nice try, but I am not giving up this easy!
Dropping Tank, changing timing belts and Water Pumps is one thing, welding is a totally different ball game for me!
First and last time I used a welder was to weld my broken Grill door with a 100 dollar welder from Lowes,
Not my Cup of tea!

Here is the test fit. Copied from my thread.

If you never welded with a mig before buying a cheep welder and doing it yourself is not what I would do on a critical suspension component.

I’ve seen people weld their roll cage with a cheep welder and the welds looked great but the weld had no penetration. And we ripped the cage apart with our hands.

My MillerMatic 130a on heat 4 was enough. I used solid core and shield gas.
