my car is running now
are there any issues with welding on a car that is runs?
do i need to disconnect the battery?
if so, why?
The axles sometimes look like they might be a good place to put your ground clamp cause of their convienent size.
Don't do it! You'll score your axel ball bearings and/or CV balls and/or fry your engine ground strap esp if it is small. Mig welders typically put out 20-28 volts and can eat electronics
after the ground strap is cooked off when the next lowest path of resistance is though your engine wiring.
