I took of the rear wheel to fit a new fuel pipe filler on saterday and to my shock found that the rear axle top link arm mount was torn from the axle, i spent a few hours welding it up with added strengthener plates and she looked good and strong so off we went for a nightime play, this morning clambered under truck to see how the job had held up and to my horror the other side has started to break off
i have already patched up the back off the axle where it was leaking diff oil from and refilled with fresh oil but it is still wineing so i think it will be best to hunt out a new rear axle complete rather than messing about strengthening this one up again
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a surf with the same engine in would that axle fit my colorado it is also manual?
Where would be the best place to source another axle?
How would i identify that i was getting the wright axle for my truck?
