Yup just weld that puppy up or cut it off and weld in something new to replace it like a short piece of pipe. That's what I did to one side and about to do to the other as that little nub thing is just floating around in the spring at the moment! Brady
----- Original Message ---- From: eric luebbers <a91syncro@YAHOO.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Wed, April 28, 2010 8:50:38 PM Subject: A-Arms I would like to use this A-Arm if I could. Can this "tear" be welded or am I looking at buying a new (used) A-Arm. I know Brickworks sells a patch for this but I do not think they ship to the states. I would also have to get new springs because the do not have a relief hole for the stock spring. Any Advice or wisdom?
