While changing the oil in my ‘21 4x4 noticed ugly secondary welds on LH lower control arm. Welds are over factory robotic beam welds. Ray Charles quality. Not signs of damage on arm or suspension. I’m guessing this is a repair of a manufacturing flaw. Vehicle built when pandemic supply chain was getting vefy ugly. Desperate times in the plants then. Anybody seen this before? RH side shown for reference.
