Eric, you ever buy these? I think one of my rear tabs is bent. How much to have these welded, and what must be removed to do the work?

I just noticed the bent tab when we did the diff swap. The new suspension has been in for about 2 months, I wonder if that is what damaged it. Must be, because I would have noticed it when we did the rear suspension.

yes, i had them welded on when they did tons of work on the rear of my car. they would need to at least move the brake lines out of the way to weld them in. i wouldn't think they'd need to remove the trailing arms from the car. you should be able to look in my gallery for pics of them welded in place. i would think a shop should be able to give a pretty good estimate of the time involved. they'll need to clean off all the paint/rust from the area, weld them in and then paint it again, along with the brake line work.
