    Had my mounting tab for the bottom of my leveling valve break off the bottom shock mount. Any good fixes other than welding?

    Had the same thing happen on a 2014 T-680.

    Pulled into the next truck stop (Petro) and they welded it back on. Didn’t have any problems after.

    Don’t overthink it, just have it welded back on..

    Make another tab.

    Bolt it to the same location.

    Adjust link.

    I done it several times that way, I don't always have a welder with me. Drill and grinder sometimes.
