If the weld broke on the right side spring perch broke, would it cause the car to go right at the hit of the throttle??

Depends on where it broke and which side of the car
but if the right side is moving forward then it will
turn right

When that gets repaired,will also reweld the other perch and do the axel tubes and front shock mount tabs.
How do you guys brace the tubes to the perch??

As stated, the perches should have gussets to the middle or tops of the tubes.

I'll save the boxing for the next time the rear has to come out.For now will repair existing perch welds,add some type of gusset and weld the tubes
