I flipped my buggy and broke the mount where the trailing arm pivots by the trans. Got a new bracket but don't know how important it is to have it welded back perfect in the same place, any suggestions on how to get it close or perfect???

If it was me I would measure side distances and then take a degree finder and c what the good side is at then set the new one at that degree and then tack it . Then ck measurement again and test fit arm . If all good blaze it in .
Hope this helps some .
