Repairing broken W Arm (See another Picture)

I went to pull my skid to perform some servicing and noticed the W Arm was broke and looks to be in rough shape. Is this something I can just weld up and put it back in service? Any advice out there? Thanks, Craig

If it can be welded, I would have all the joints on the W-arm welded for added strength. T would have it sand blasted and powder coated after that rid rid the threats of any rust and corrosion breaks in the future.

I would just get a new one. Taking a chance on repairing junk is not worth the risk.

SXr

I have one off of an 01 SXr with 1000kilos no cracks . went to a H arm suspension $100

not worth the risk bro! replace that or you will be sorry!

 

[cajones2]

guys, thanks for the input. It sounds like the consensus is to replace it. Not too often you get a unanimous decision!

Are there other components to the skid that are prone to breaking as well?

Posted a second picture for others to reference should they perform a search on broken W Arm weld repair. There was a fourth weld cracked and ready to blow too. I've got a double welded replacement coming from CB Performance Parts. (Thanks Bruce)
