Bad Axles?
I have a few opinions on this and have an idea what the answer is. I just want to be sure before I order new ones not to mention wheels. My digicam is in for repair so I can not post any pics.
What I found on the dissambley of my 9" rear end is that the previous owner spot welded the bearings on the axles. I had the bearings changed, but I got to thinking that the axles could be bad. Where the welds were there is some cuts from grinding them off. There was four welds about a half inch each on each axle.
I am assuming that they are trash for the stress raisers and the loss of the heat treat in the weld area. Is my assumption incorrect?
