I fear my right rear suspention ear has been ovaled due to rubbing of the trailing arm shaft and the ear. With the rear jacked up I can move the wheel back and forth. Not much, but I see the trailing arm moving at the ear. I want to catch this before it gets more serious. How much would it cost to fix the ear hole? Is this something I can do in my garage, or should I let the pro's do it? I "might" have access to a welder, but I dont have access to experience.... :toilet:
