just curious if its possible to weld to a shock without messing anything up? the person welding builds mini trucks for a living so I'm not worried about the welds themselves, just the shock

 

Why are you welding a shock?

 

...and what are you welding to the shock??

 

a collar of some sort

 

for brake ducts or something of that fashion??

 

not to be a dick but can you answer my question? or are you just asking questions just for ***** and giggles

 

ummm. no i have better things to do right now than to be a dick. im trying to see if there is away around welding to your shock. so i am trying to figure out why you are wanting to weld it! so i have to ask open ended questions. because long story short...you are going to have alot of people tell you not to weld it due to pressurized gases etc..

 

a detailed question about the issue you're having would help in getting straight to an answer you jack off, right? we might be able to help you get around a potentially dangerous situation with an equally productive solution.

 

He's going to weld chinese take out food boxes to each strut.

 

lol there is no need for a detailed question that requires a yes or no answer. I didn't ask for advice nor did I ask for any help with possible ways around it. I just asked is it possible, yes or no. simple as that but I already got my answer

 

Yes, you can weld on them. You definately need a good welder and even then they can get damaged very easily. If it gets too hot it will push the fluid out and damage the seals.

You are better off going to streetsourcemagazine.com and asking this question in the 'Ask Max' forum. You won't get much help asking those type of questions here.

 

yeah I was going to go on there tonight and ask. thanks for the helpful info

 

well anything is possible..they should have told you that in 2nd grade. so yes weld away.

 

I guess no one told you talking **** online makes you a loser

 

lol. guess that makes two of us. i actually said yes you could in an earlier post but i guess you just over looked it. oh well..cheers.

 

The long answer is : It depends on what part of the shock you are trying to weld to.
But the short answer for you is: no.

 

nope just you, I didn't talk **** once

and thanks beanbag, I've decided to try something else instead

 

I wouldn't recommend it.but who the hell am I to say what u can and cant do.

 

I wouldn't recommend it either because your suspension and vehicle chassis would not have a straight alignment.
