Trailering Arm Crack....Can I weld
I pulled my axle out over the weekend and discovered my trailering arms in great shape rust wise, but the passenger side arm has a crack that runs across the top (where axle sits) of the first hole for the u-bolt and down one side of the hole. Can I have this welded up and be fine? Or should I bite the bullet and get another one? They seem to be pretty expensive and I don't know if I can find anyone willing to sell just one. I will try to get a pic of it tonight and post tomorrow.
Keep in mind this truck will be a Sunday driver when completed.
