Good idea, the suspension is sooooo worth it. Wow, never would have suspected an intellectual (ok maybe not a total intellectual, but compared with several people I know, you are) of wanting to do this.
Using a cracked broken plastic laundry hamper to try your hand for the first time at plastic welding with a

Cheat:
I did it and I am not unhappy with the result. May not look pretty but it's functional once again and extend the life of what would be an otherwise worthless item. My only regret is not having a respirator and forced air evacuation...so I did it out in the driveway--some fumes just couldn't be avoided even outside. I give this product a good pass. Has its problems being so cheap, but part of the charm is the value if you can make it work! Nothing some tutorials on YT couldn't help.
