Great point. For some reason I was just picturing a stock axle housing that wasnt being modified. I was stuck on stupid. Happens to me alot, I prolly should re-boot the operating system more often

Wish I had a simple button like my computer. But I still rely on shock treatments to re-boot the brain. Painful man!!! Ok, going to re-boot. Dont smell the smoke, its pretty bad. ZAP!!! JR

Press, heat and quench or in some extreme cases they may have to cut the ends off the tube and re-weld them in alignment. I have seen this hundreds of times while I was racing. It turns up when trying to do an alignment on the race cars only to find out you can't get everything square. This issue is usually the culprit. I was actually going to start a thread on this some time ago and then forgot. I see alot of people welding brackets to rear ends and then just installing them. I hope they are checking them before they move on. Just my 1.5 cents! You guys are building some sweet machines. Keep up the good work.
