There are alot of possible variables. Which part needs to be replaced at $140? Where is the crack in the frame? When the original fix was executed was a reinforcement added along with the weld?

A pic would surely help.

Additionally, when looking to make an extremely strong weld a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) weld would be preferable over the typical MIG (Metal Inert Gas) weld done at many shops.


Good luck and feel free to PM with other questions.
