Hi Milt, and everyone,
Just to know where I am at welding... after asking you guys a bunch of questions about "if I can weld", well... I can't weld like a pro. but I can some now. After I bought the Lincohn 100 (can't remember if it's 100 or 101, but it's one of the smallest one at Home Depot), I have been pratice and made some nice things at home.
My question now is really on my front shock housing and spindle (the ring which wrap around the shock housing. My front end makes scary snaping sound when the car go through the up and down motion such as turning the wheel max while driving (most likely won't happen when stand still), 90 degree sharp turn, or sometimes even simply jacking up the car. My mechanic suspect most of the time, it is the spindle, he pointed at the ring which wrap around the shock housing. When these 2 pieces of metal isn't welded well enough, sometimes it make the noise rubbing to each other. He suggested to go to the suspension guys to make sure.
Well, since I have a welding machine at home, should I go for it?
My question is if my Lincoln 100 can handle this task? It doesn't have gas, actually I got all the accessories for gas but don't feel comfortable installing them myself. I have been welding without gas and it looks ok
