Axle Housing Weld Leaks Repair

Axle Housing 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 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 Devcon Aluminum Liquid F2 or equivalent meeting Ford specification M-31D35A(E).
