My 91 has a fatigued upper shock mount that has torn out the one of the two mounting studs and took a 1/2 dollar size chunk of metal with it. Repair process will require welding of broken section. The welding process will be tig. Anyone that has input on the dangers of high frequency welding on a highly computerized car please answer. Five ecu,s will be disconnected but left in the car. I have designed a steel plate to fit the exact dimensions where the nuts screw the studs to the chassis. Creating a sandwich type situation hopfully eliminating the condition for ever. If any one is intersted in this part contact me 773-267-9481. I can fax you a print but if you want them made it will cost around $40 because they are hand machined and painted in epoxy
