If you owned one of these cars and it was out of warranty wouldn't it be prudent to have the spring perches re-welded just to be sure? Locating a welding/fabrication shop with chassis experience is not that hard and they should have no problem laying down extra beads around the perch. Seems like a no brainer to me. RT
