You're a welder asking how to repair a weld?

I assume you're talking about the weld on a leaf spring hanger? Secure the plate to the chassis so it can't move, grind back the original weld, and weld it back up.

yeah yeah good dig that one
was just checking there wasnt any extra or specific things to do
so basicly clean make sure its in original spot and weld it back on
thanks for ya help

Are you talking about the actual shackle or the mount fixed to the chassis? Normally shackles aren't welded for that reason. If it is the shackle, toss it and make a new one, don't stuff around with it.

Couldn't help it.

If you are talking the plate, just clamp it to the chassis, no need to take it right off. grind the cracked weld right off, make sure theres no crap still on either surface then just weld it as you would normally weld mild steel. No tricks.

lol funny lot you guys are
fixed it was really bad basicly the whole mount
the chassis tore out so i have refabbed my chassis at that point and now it drives like a new 4wd lol
i jacked it up and the drivers side one just fell off i was lucky
so its all good now

Have you considered trading for a Jeep Wrangler?

my drivers side hilux front spring hanger did the same thing, just took to it with the mig and lots of amps

Very common on early MQ's with the steel top sleeve.
Also run a small reinforcing plate on the side or it WILL crack again.
Keep the bush well greased or if it siezes it will strain the joint more.

Bazzle

me gf gonna lovethat

make some up your self with thicker steel
