Hi guys,

I'd been noticing an interesting problem with my 95 F-150 4x4. When I'd back up the wheels would get a toe-out and the tires would start squealing. It would get better when I was driving forward. After replacing all the steering linkage and doing the right side axle pivot and radius arm bushings, I noticed that the frame was cracked where the axle pivot bracket attaches to the under engine crossmember. What are my options, to weld the frame back together or just put in a new crossmember?

Thanks for the help,

Gannon

 

Try welding it.

At worse case you can buy a crossmember.

 

weld the cracks / grind it off then put another plate over the crack and weld it.

 

It's hard to tell from your pictures, but is the frame cracked or the just the cross member under the engine?
