front suspension repair or not
i wanted to ask for some advise here about my front suspension crossmember.
while cleaning it up for paint i discovered 4 different cracks on this thing. the first 2 lie beneath the engine in the curved area on the front upper edge. i am not to worried about those, i can find the ends of the cracks rather easily and i can mig those up and grind them smooth, no bigg deal , i think. the second 2 are on the upper a arm supports. they do not lead to a bolt hole or a factory rivet, so i feel pretty confident that i can do a good weld on them. the cracks are on the front edge only. pics are of these 2, i couldnt get the first 2 to photograph well. the question is, should i repair this thing or just chunk it and get another cross member. opinions please.. thanks, tony

Re: front suspension repair or not
I had that exact same crack on the upper a-arm support of a '65. I welded it.
