rose joint bush welding
Hi there,
Am i a little bit anxious????
let me share my fear with you.If we make welding to the rear lower wishbone rose joint bushes with wishbone tube like pic1
the whole load act by wheel will be applied only the edge(protruding part)of the bush.If the edge part will crack we may lose the lower
wishbone!!!.That's why i make double-V-groove preparation and 4 cavity like Pic2 to laying the penetration to the base of the bush.
Any comments?

I'd happily drive a car that had that made for it. Although - I too would of welded a pool into the hole as suggested above.
All the best with the others!

Looks fine to me though fella, if the paranoia is kicking in, as above stick a couple of holes in further down and plug it up.
Cheers

Nothing wrong with that, its correct practice to make a fishmouth and back fill.
The weld is then over a longer distance lessening the load on any specific point.

meanwhile I change the settings of the mig welder before welding the bush.Below you can see the bush welded with new settings on the left and the
previous one on the right.(I reduce the voltage and wire speed to obtain a stable result)Can anyone see the difference?is it still good
enough
