I need to weld my rear trunk pivot hing....Should I buy the bolt on replacement or does welding fix the problem and hold?...I want to leave the torsion spring to keep it original.
Thanks, Dave |

I welded mine. It's as strong as new and only took a few minutes. But I ditched the torsion spring, so lining it up was easy.
I went with gas shocks instead. Agree with the Camp914 recommendation for that. If you go for the hinge/pivot replacement, go with The JWest kit |
