    I don’t see how this would ever be an issue, but if it were me... I’d align the steel back up and put a bead on it.

    Wait, is there a spacer in the bottom mount of the shock? Seems like the only way this could be cracking like that.

    There doesn't seem to be much on the aftermarket for replacement anyway... so its weld or purchase new, find a set of take offs.:thumbsup:

    Yeah I don't get why people are worried about that. The fuckin tab is already welded to the LCA. It's not like it's high carbon.

    Then just weld it back together, it will be fine. It’s a minor crack, I wouldn’t over think it

    Not a crack. The part circled in red shows that someone did this to the arm with a cut-off wheel.

    That was my guess to. That shock mount was violated I tell you.

    Come to think of it, maybe that's what happened. Aftermarket shock base wouldn't fit in the mount so they tried to widen it up a bit by splitting that edge and spreading it out some.

    yep...especially at the bottom of that red circle, that looks like where the cutting wheel grazed it.

    The question is...why? That's weird

    Yeah, thats no crack at all... Thats a cut mark from a grinder. Metal that thick doesnt spread that much with such a short "crack" that line is ground out.

    EDIT, after reading past page 2 it seems others have come to the same conclusion..
