Wow sorry to hear it. I'd take it to some one who could weld and give it a send try. A weld done right should be stronger the the original.

Wow other side broke the same way......

I believe the strut cartridge is filled with oil and under pressure(nitrogen). Which means DO NOT weld before disassembling...it will explode when welded!

How did that happen?!?

LimaCharlie · 12-23-2014, 01:19 PM

What kind of end links and sway bar do you have?

flht99b · 12-23-2014, 01:42 PM

Are you interested in just replacing the lower front mount or having spare Pedders parts including shocks, mounts, springs, etc. ??

Something is wrong in your front suspention! Looks like to me the tab was broken from front<-->rear movement. The only load on the tab should be up down. Also the end links do not appear to be in good shape. Do the end links swivel well? Are they set up 90* apart? Does the Anti-roll bar rotate freely and have little side to side movement and is firm in its mounts?

rockrau · 12-24-2014, 01:41 PM

There is a rub mark on the end link bar, what was it rubbing? I should not rub any thing!

Endlinks are fine...only thing I can think of is stress I autocross this car a lot and let's say I drive her hard..
