Well...that would explain it. A weld would be fine provided you have a good welder (I mean the person doing the welding)

The same thing happened to me with my old manco. I took it to a local auto shop and they re-welded it for me.

I wouldn't think old shocks would cause this. If anything, older shocks would be softer and this would be less likely to happen. I think you just might have been riding it a bit hard.
