    Default XJ newb

    Hello

    From far NW burbs of chicago and bought err traded for my first jeep product two weeks ago yesterday.

    Runs great however I found this canyon when I was getting comfy to do a chassis greasing



    Now I am struck, no clue what to do about it now.

    Thanks for the welcoming.

    This isnt my first four by but it is my first jeep.
    I am very knowledgeable with SBC motors and pre 87 GM products.

    If anyone knows anyone whom can fix this(no welder on site heck dont even have power in the garage) please let me know. Its a daily driver and totes my kids around. Had I seen this when I picked it up I would have run away fast

    About the only thing that comes to my mind is welding. Either you can weld the one there, take about five minutes or the aftermarket has several pre made lower control mounts you can buy and weld on. but either way, the only fix will involve welding

    smdh, gotta find a mobile welder now.

    Thanks I figured as much was gonna be an idiot and grind the rust off and pressure apply JB weld or the like in there till I can replace them, Daily vehicle cant have down time during the week.

    Actually, you could probably find a welder to do this for next to nothing
