Feckin' leaking axle (again)

Feb 19, 2005 1 Replies

Bugger me sideways, the things leaking again. It's been welded, epoxied!



It's buggered, so I really am going to have to sort a new axle. I can get a known good full axle including diff. They want £100 for the whole thing, or a used casing for £40, but there will be lots to swap etc.



I can't see it being a massive job to do. Cut off the U bolts, unfasten propshaft & sort the brake pipe out & you're away.



Or, am I missing something really simple - what would you chaps do?

Probably best to fit a good case.

I had an interesting one this week when a customer complained that the steering of her old 90 had gone "all wobbly"

On driving it into the workshop I could tell it was steering from the back ! Her axle was so rotten that it had pulled the radius arm mount clean off the axle case !!!!!

I found her a good s/h one which got her back on the road again.
