Title: Welding a shock ??
Post by: my996duc1 on November 16, 2009, 08:47:20 PM

I will guess the answer is NO !
BUT.....

Can a person re-weld the circle mount on the bottom of a shock body ??

I mounted my rear shocks and didn't realize the when I rotated the pinion angle I also tipped the shock mounts which caused the body of the rear shocks to hit the shock mount tab and started to seperate the weld that is holding on the circle mount to the shock body.
These shocks are brand new and I hate to throw them away and buy new...

welding on an oil filled can is a bad idea, can you say boom?

I have the same problem, the solution is to give the stock shock mounts
a little extension to the back so the shock clears the mounts.

I wanted to put together a kit to relocate the shocks, up and back more to
give both better ground clearance and shock clearance. it's a simple fix if you can weld
