Hello folks! I'm just wondering... I've never welded before. Is this something a DIYer can do, or should I leave it to a pro? (pertains specifically to front trackbar bracket)

Front track bar bracket is a pretty important thing. I would leave it to a pro for that or at least take some welding lessons first.

That was my first inclination... Think I will just take it to someone with experience... Thanks!

And believe it or not it won't cost a ton. A little over a year ago my steering stabilizer bracket ripped off my axle. I had it welded back on for under $100. Can't remembr the exact price but it was cheaper than I expected.
