Welded steering linkage, ya, so what, the factory
welded the U-joints to the end of my steering shaft,
so welds are unsafe
tell that to all the people
flying around the country, lots of welds in those planes.
The most important piece of safety equipment is the
one that's located between your ears, use it and live,
or not, depending on how good it is. (see Darwin awards)
If I need to weld a steering part, I do it, I do it right, I
think my weld is a tad bit stronger than the rag joint
I've seen on many vehicles.
Does that GV or XL have power steering ??
that makes the force on the weld even less, make it
work and stop whining about the small stuff, there are
bigger things to complain about, like land closures
in Moab
