Thanks Mark. Yeah I need an adjustable arm.

Just weld it. It will still be adjustable as such you will just have to remove one end to do so. This is no different to what superior and others off anyway.
They don't tend to be adjusted after they have been set anyway and even if it did require some small adjustment with new bushes it should not matter as it will only be a very small amount. Like half or one turn.

The thread is pretty flogged out. I’m concerned the weld just around the end to the nut won’t be enough and it will break again. It was a big pain to get this rod out as the Long range sub sits around and under it.
I was thinking of maybe drilling two holes in the female threaded end and also weld in there to the male threaded section as well. Maybe. Gotta work out the price of two new bushes and my time to remove and refit and also repair the rod compared to just putting a new one on. Plus I don’t need a bent rod. Which has put the extra strain on the threaded section too because of the angle. I can get away with a straight rod here.
I’ll sleep on it.

Yep plug welding would be effective and my next suggestion. I would drill all the way through in one spot and say 20mm further away drill all the way through again but perpendicular to the first hole. The just fill with weld.
But as you say a new one will likely be less hassle once you factor in the cost and effort to replace the bushes.

Well I decided to repair it. $70for two bushes and a couple of hours and it will be like new.
I was thinking of drilling right through and putting a bolt in it and then welding that in too. Or something along those lines...
So I made my own press dolly up last night. An old calliper piston. I had to run a bead of weld around the lip and then grind it down a little as the piston was about 2mm too small. But it worked a treat.

I also had a larger TB piston but I thought it would be easier to weld up rather that grind the entire piston down.

Mig welding in slippers burns! Just a warning for others. Lol.
Plug welded and then around the nut. Hopefully she holds.

Do it in boots and you get lumps of that hot glue down inside them. Do it in bare feet (my usual safety gear) and you stand on the stuff. Never tried slippers, so thanks for the advice.
