Car chassis leg ! Help needed

[microways85]

I recently had my car repaired by a car body shop from a front end damage. The chassis leg was pulled out .

However the leg is kinked from the pulling out . I raised this with the body shop and they now want me to buy a piece from a breaker and they are looking to weld on the new piece to replace the kinked area .

Is this the right way to do it can the chassis leg Piece be removed and welded back on ?

It's the kinked area piece that I meant .

Thanks in advance

It can be removed and re welded that's the right thing to do, in an accident that leg will fold where the kink is and might not work as well as an undamaged one.

That's atrocious. It's visibly shorter than it should be, and the panel above it doesn't even look like they've attempted to kick it straight. I take it you paid for this "repair" on the cheap, rather than insurance covering it?

The only way to sort that is to cut the damage off and weld new metal in. But get somebody competent to do it, not this bunch of halfwits...

Sod that for a 'repair' !! That will fold like a fag paper in the event of another shunt.

The "right" way to do it does NOT involve using a part from a breakers! it involves a NEW section of chassis from the manufacturer and going to a decent body shop not a bodging backstreet gaff, TBH i work at a bodging backstreet gaff and even we would have heated and atempted to straighten that pisspoor repair.

Doesn't matter what you do to that chassis leg but it'll never perform as it should do again

Wow, that's nasty.

I cant weld.
I dont think I could do any worse than that on my first attempt.
