Weld Leaks Repair

1. CAUTION: To keep the axle's sound characteristics, do not disassemble the carrier.

CAUTION: Rear axle housing straightness is too critical for field repair. Install a new axle housing if a weld is broken.





NOTE: Most minor weld leaks are repairable. This includes the puddle and fill welds that join the axle shaft tube to the axle housing on integral axles.

Seal the weld.
^ Use epoxy sealer meeting Ford specification M-3D35A(E).
