awhile back i snapped one of my lower a arms backing out of the garage. I know alot of you have dealt with this. My point of view as well as your is "I never want it to happen again especially at high speed" well i dont have the cash for GW right now so i am thinking that maybe i can get them reinforced at a local shop.

My question is wouldnt welding or heating up the A arm fatigue it??i know they did this awhile back in a magazine. but ive heard that certain metals fatigue when heated.???

also if i was to do this how much do you think it would cost me and could it be done while they are on the car becasue i really dont want to take it all apart when i just put it back together a few months ago.

and last if any of you have done this what method do you recommend or tips etc?
