Hello BMW Freunden,
Today I discovered some fatigue cracks in my front axle support. I discovered the cracks by visual inspection. After that I did some magnetic particle testing. Still the crack appears.
I believe that after all those year the forces due to braking activities, the reaction force will eventually cause fatigue cracking at that area.
So I TIG welded the crack and added some extra weld deposit in the corner.
Please find attached pictures.
Maybe it helps you with your restorations.
