It cracked where the trailing arm attaches to the frame rail. Randy has pictures of it, but not really good ones. He will post them for me I am sure.

Those aren't good pictures at all. But trust me when I say that it is all jacked up, and I need to get going on it soon.

Did you crack the actual tubing or just the tabs that weld to the tubing?

The tubing actually broke out completely on the outer sides of the attachment points.

WOW. You are right. Those pictures don't show much. Definately going to take some work for sure. But it looks like you already have some good suggestions of shops. Post better pictures if you get a chance.

You don't have to tell us but you might ask them if they will fix it. They might want to know anyhow. They might learn from what you have done and make their cars better because of it. I hope people tell me if my car does something bad. Even if they are driving it like they stole it. That's what it's for.

If I remember right it was a Colorado sand car. I came close to ordering one of them 2 years ago at the sand show because of the low price but became concerned about the light duty build they did to keep the price down. I am not saying anything bad about them I just wondered how the car would hold up to some hard duning. Guess I have my answere.

Not a Colorado Sand car. I have spoken to the manufacturer, he offered to fix it, but he very far from my house.
