I need to do a wheel alignment on my old Golf caravan which has tandem axles with independent load-sharing suspension. The toe-in adjustment is locked by a short stitch weld. The cam is 3mm thick and it is welded to a suspension component which is 6mm in thickness.

Now I have not done welding for 50 plus years so I would appreciate advice on which welder to buy. I only have 10A power-points so will that be sufficient? Bunnings have a 140A stick welder that costs $219 and also a gasless MIG wire-fed welder for $299 both suitable for a 10A power-point. Of course they have others but I am looking at the bottom end of the price range. For someone who is totally inexperienced with welding is a gasless MIG advantageous over a stick welder?

Thanks
