i see the pic he only welded a flat plate for your anti-roll bar
this is a point that will be subjected to consistent fatigue (i.e. the anti-roll bar will keep trying to bend it up and down as you take corners...so the joint actually gets "tired" in a sense)
a flat plate welded to the frame will definitely eventually break along the weld as that is the most brittle part (weakest link)
when welding for these kind of applications, you need to triangulate the anchor point
so what the guy should do is weld the flat plate to the frame, then add in atleast 1 (two would be better) triangles perpendicular to the plate to support the bending force that the anti-roll bar will induce on that plate

please refer to picture below for illustration:

u ask the shop to do like this sure they will make noise and say no need etc
just stick to your guns
after all, not hard to do wut...and cost wise practically no diff
but most shops lazy  dry.gif
if can get a shop with MIG welding
much better finish, and less thermal damage to the area
arc welding isnt as good...so so lor...
if they 1 2 use gas welding tell them go fly kites...that will soften the whole area around the weld (check out anealing if 1 2 know more) wink.gif

actually, now that i think about it, if want to make it easy, take a 1inch or 1.5inch flat bar and 90degree bend it into a U shape....
grind off the two exposed edges and then weld along the whole line and kautim!
that might actually be better than adding on the triangulation pieces  hmm.gif

diff shop diff
the better shops will have MIG
so far saw 1 shop that had TIG (this is the best!)
most will have arc welding
some of the lauya el-cheapo shops will still be using gas
MIG welding is that thing where they hold like a gun that has a trigger
then its attached to a metal box with dials n stuff on it that needs to be pluged into a power point
the welding material is fed by the machine through the handle continuously from a roll in the box

arc welding is the one where they clip the welding rod into the handle then weld and have to keep replacing the welding rod as it finishes

gas welding sure know rite? wink.gifwink.gif

rclxub.gif er dunno wor gas welding... -,- very noob ler me bt i think i i saw 1 exhaust shop tat is using MIG welding like mention machine is 1 box n got something like gun once u triger u straight weld right?

sumthing like that lor

gas welding means got two big cylinders
then got a visible flame
nev let them use gas welding on your car
surrounding metal will rust very fast as your undercoat dip layer will be burnt off and the metulargy of your metal will be changed
