The original tube is sweated into the outside forging. It works pretty well in a 4200 lb XJ.

Judging from the bend of the tube where it meets the end forging, I'd say that the stresses were pretty high. This wasn't a failure of the weld. Perhaps the car was bottoming out?

Was this arm shortened? Is there a trailing or leading arm?
