Well after getting a driveshaft yoke and getting the truck back together from breaking at new centerville We noticed a vibration. After a little further inspection of the rearend I noticed the axle tubes were smashed from the housing rotating and the pinion was pointed slightly upwards. Looks like the plugs ( actually appears to be rivets instead of welds) that hold the axle tubes are also tweaked and stressed. I tried getting some pictures but couldnt get any that really showed up well. I have found a couple axles, but was wondering if anyone had had this happen to them and what they did to beef up the axle so there is no next time. I thought about plating and reinforcing the mounts to the axle, or maybe some traction bars? Any suggestions?
