Weld Leaks Repair

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





^ 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.

1. Seal the weld.
^ Use epoxy sealer meeting Ford specification M-31335A(E).
