Two questions about power steering brackets. Broken amd unbroken.
Is it a reliable solution to fix (weld) the broken ones?
Has anyone done that successfully?
Also, is it suggested to beef up (strengthten) existing unbroken ones?
Both my non-turbo diesels have their brackets cracked/broken (at the bottom area).
Question 3...
My turbo motor has an issue: ps belt runs visibly misaligned despite all new rubber bushings in the bracket (although it ran just fine like that for many years!).
I have a spare, turbo version of the bracket; and I was wondering about swapping that in to see if it would change something...(?)
I heard that installing one is an annoying project for real, so for now, it is simply postponed till the current one goes broken. Maybe it is broken already, but I simply can't spot the crack where it gave up? I have no idea about it (it is definitely way too cold around here for projects that aren't urgent).
I thought I would ask what your general experience was with these broken brackets.
