Re: Damaged axle tube repair??

When you weld up the perches weld in small areas and skip around to keep the heat down on the housing. You can pull a housing around a bunch by dumping a lot of heat in on one side of the tube. Here is a quick video on how much a housing moves with heat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8m919bCeEE
I have fixed housing that were so bad after all the welding was done the axles would not go back in.
