Rear diff mounts
 
Okay so recenlty I traded my n/a for a TII that had idle issues which I solved. While driving the car I noticed the front rear diff mount is blown, im not trying to be cheap but I dont want spend $100 for a new one... I have heard of people welding the diff mount, what is the pros and cons of doing this?

:dunno:

Are you talking about welding the two "halves" of the front diff mount together to essentially make a solid mount or welding the mount to the diff itself? I don't see why the former would be a problem as long as you're confident in the weld. Personally, I don't like having solid diff mounts though as a little movement takes stress out of the drivetrain.

You can probably find a used diff mount that's still usable for pretty cheap. That'll most likely be easier than welding it and give a better ride.

Your should get rid of that complicated rear end setup and just install a solid axle...

I did notice some burnout marks at the top of road, so maybe you got this fixed already?
