a crack on the frame shock damper mount! 1 Year, 10 Months ago
|
|
Yesterday my mechanic called me in the middle of the rear shock replacement. He told me that the shock damper mount on the frame was cracked.
here is where the crack was:
a friend of mine welded that piece, so now it should be ok...
anyone had that problem too?

Erin, as long as your welder made sure that they are good welds...you should be okay...It happen to me. Kai

=======================
Great suggestion to add some additonal support to area that cracked if there's room to do so which would likely stop or at least greatly reduce the chance of it happening a 2nd time.
