Making my own upper control arms

Good Job, They pass! Nothing on the road/track is going to put 15 Tons of pressure on them unless you are in some type of collision. The suspension would eat alot of the hit if that happened. I bet even a Pull Test would rip the metal itself before it came loose at a weld.

Guys need to understand that Tig welding gets so dang HOT that it is almost Impossible NOT to get penetration. Super Strong is almost always in the equation.

I though about some kind of pull test too, but I don't have any way to put that kind of pressure on them safely. I think this test proves the point. I think that you would pull the frame rail out of the car before these would let go. :D

Lol,yep I'll give em a pass too!! Poor upper arm looks like a pretzel..
Yeah the DOM tubing impressed me, no splitting.
