Welding on rearend housing
I need to change the width of the spring mount pads (or whatever they are called) on a 88 Lincoln rearend. Taking them off isn't the issue. My concern is putting them back on.
What concerns do I have with welding the pads back on. Should I be concerned about warping or other factors?

You should always worry about warpage when welding anything......Should not be a problem here, unless you seriously overheat it. Just con't weld too long in any one spot.

Struck my first arc in 1966. I know about warpage.
 I sure appreciate your input. It's good to hear it's going to be as simple as I talking myself into believing.

I would make a series of short duration welds, probably no longer than 1/2". Keep this up, allowing cooling for each new run of welds. Continue until the welds are joined, should be fine.
