Chassis Rail.

[gumbie]

Sooo.. As my mate was jacking my car up under my chassis rail, it decided to give way and crumple , Nothing to major but still doesn't look right lol..

Anyway, question is, Is it possible to cut it out and weld a new piece in??

If he was jacking a main part of the body you could call "chassis rail" I doubt it would have crumpled. You are obviously talking about another part that is not considered a chassis rail, and the damage is probably mostly cosmetic.

It is common for the seam to fold over when you jack from those parts.

i had to shorten my left front castor rod 25mm after puttin mine up a kerb, pulled the whole left chassis rail back. used a jack on the cross member to push the rad support back out an, hammered the rail flat again, then plated it to strengthen. Had 2 yellows thus far an never been an issue. Not that i tell them haha....
