Need help. My 56 Fairlane drag link threaded bushing hole is shot. The NEW idler arm bushing is very loose and won't tighten up. The repair kit does not include a part to rethread the hole. I know that a new drag link is very expensive. My drag link is fine except for the stripped hole. Being that the idler bushing gets torqued down about like a cylinder head bolt=can't I just mig weld the idler bushing to the drag link? Then I can just spin the new idler arm on and be in good shape. Thank you.
 
Just go to edit, you can delete it from there. You might want to copy and paste your text to the new question before you do that.
