    What’s up TW.

    Was under my truck installing a sway bar drop when I noticed these bent cam tabs.
    Would like to fix these for good, so either new gusset cam tabs or a repair with a bead weld behind the original cam tabs.

    I’m searching for a shop or mechanic recommendation in the Los Angeles Area!

    I called 88 rotors and they quoted prettu high, so exploring other options.

    let me know if you have a recommendation!
    Thanks

    From the work involved, seeing this in action on friend's Tacos, it is a slow job. Your quotes likely reflect that? The best hope is to find a non-pro person working out of their garage.


    My favorite idea is just ripping a bead along the tabs that you can. The one critical one hangs off in space unfortunately.

    Maybe you’re close to @Superdave1.0 . No idea where or how long the drive is lower CA to LA.

    Appreciate that man. Don't weld at home (I do at my day job).

    OP try contacting @GHOST SHIP or @Shmellmopwho. I'd bet one of them could glue in some cam tabs for you!

    Can do. Thanks for the tag Dave!
    I’m in SFV (818) and Ryan is in the South Bay (310) so it really comes down to whoever is closer. I can vouch for @Shmellmopwho ‘s work. If I couldn’t do something myself, I’d definitely take it to him or @Superdave1.0
