Last weekend I was pulling out all of my old suspension components to replace them with new ones. Before I put the new stuff in I thought I'd clean up the inner fender area and repaint it. Well this is what I found in the shock tower...
Looks like the previous owner attempted some pretty nasty welding. The crack looks pretty severe. So it appears I'm going to have to replace the shock towers. (I noticed a crack on the other as well although I'm not sure of the severity.) What is involved in a replacing the shock tower? Removing the motor I'm sure. Is it all spot welded in? How many welds would have to be drilled?
Any other input you have would be great.
Thanks.
