I made the mistake of redrilling my lower (axle) track bar mount when i first lifted and ran the stock track bar for a while.
sure enough, the hole in the mounting bracket ovaled out soon there after.
I'm now running the RE HD track bar w/HD mount. I've also welded a washer to the outside of the lower track bar mount to help with the ovaling.. common repair.
Now the inner part of the mounting bracket is also ovaled out, so i need to weld a washer to the inner side as well.
Any suggestions how I can weld a washer in there, since I cant get at it from behind with the MIG, it has to be welded though the ovaled hole (kind of a rosette weld ... and yeah i picked that up on P4x4) and then ground flush so the track bar can get back in.. ... get the visual?
gotta be an easier way. besides cutting off the whole mounting bracket and welding a new one in place.
