ive got 2 cracks starting around my passengerside struts (just where the round bit meets the inner wing) would rather get it seen to before it gets bad... ive seen lods of cars like this, so i take it its a common repair... what is it (weld a plate in?) and how much you normally looking at (not including whcking a bit of paint on afterwards)

i wauld see if you can get a new strut top sa it wauld be a better job all done . you can take out the spot welds then put the new one in then re seal and re paint

Neil

would check the rest of the strut tops and other side as well

i sprint race my sierra very hard including spins and bashingf the rear quarter and done that for 3 years solid and still drive it on the road and i have to cracks on the strut top or anywhere else

ive seen it on loads of coars, it cant be uncomon? looks more like rust than stress

Neil

if it's rust, best to go and get another strut area as once it thro at the top, the area will always be weak

Jim Galbally

what, you mean get one cut out of another car n welded in? or can you buy ones from the shops?

forgive my ignorance but ive never dealt with anything like this before

Neil

got it one Jimbo
