Default So I think I need a new rear cradle...

So since I have owned this car I have gone through 2 sets of rear tires. I have only owned it for 2 years. Doesn't seem bad but now this most recent set is already showing cords. The metal seat that helps hold the camber bolt in place is incredibly jacked up and lifted away from the cradle itself. Is there any fix for this or is it inevitable that I'll need a new cradle???

Example of normal (right side)




Messed up side (left side)

Someone with a welding machine can fix it easy.

Already talked to this guy on Facebook. Told him to bend it back and weld a bead behind the tab.
