Rear axle cracked was created by Barrygsi
Noticed a small oil leak from my axle yesterday, from around the weld to the left of the diff. I cleaned the area up with a wire wheel and found a hair line crack down the centre of the weld about an inch long! I should of took a picture but i have now welded it up. Thinking of making a brace plate not to add support and welding that on too. Anyone else heard of axles cracking? seems to be just week weld not corrosion?
