OK so Ive had this annoying squeek every little bump or crevice in the road, and narrowed down to the tailgate. So loud I'd have to turn the radio up even more than we already have to do just to hear it. Anyways, took the spare tire off and drove around it was gone. Noticed these 2 cracks on each side of the spare tire mount. Took the mount off and u see these 2 pics:
Question for the body work guys, can this be welded and smoothed out again for repaint, and if so, will the cracks return?
For the record, when I got the tracker 2 years ago, it had no spare tire, the tires on it were standard size, and the mount was cracked at several welds, and I had it rewelded/painted.
