While cleaning up my engine bay I found a crack in the passanger side rear suspension ear. My car has been laied up for almost a year and I am really disappointed over this. Can someone help me with a fix. The crack runs horizonal all the way accross the ear about 2" above of the trailing arm bolt on the engine side of the ear. I know I can buy a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) new one, but I hace sent a lot of money on the car and I'm not a welder.Thanks for reading. Mike

QUOTE the replacement is actually not that bad of a job. Doesn't that require dropping the engine and tranny and removing the right control arm and removing the spotwelds on the engine shelf and removing the spot welds on the suspension ear and measuring and welding in the new suspension ear and then welding the engine shelf back on and putting the suspension back on and reinstalling the engine and tranny?
