The right ear on the bottom of my front passenger spring perch is cracked on the outside at the seam where it attaches to the car. When we tried to stick weld a brace the mastic began to burn. There must be a lot of rust underneath because a hole burned in the sub structure beneath the mount near the top. If I were to remove the spring and lightly go over the area with a wire wheel how likely would it be that I would speed up the or cause the failure of the perch right there?
Does anyone have the part number for the reinforcement? My dealer can't find it. Not the striker plate.
