Re: Shock mount question

You should weld up the crack so it won't get bigger and cause more problems. It's only metal and a welder is your friend.

Re: Shock mount question

anybody know of an aftermarket one? can you buy just the one from art without buying everything?

Re: Shock mount question

Fix the crack as that area of the suspension gets a lot of force applied. If you don't fix it now, you will just have to later...such is the cycle.
