Well as always I'm having issues, the brackets where the lower control connect cracked off completely. It was like this when I originally bought it a few months back so I took it apart welded the cracks and gusseted and plated the mounts. Well my passenger side welds cracked as well as the original steel plate so I'm thinking the steel is just brittle. My question is: I am changing the entire axle out this time and I'm going to plate the new one even better but I can't find a new axle with 4:10's so I am going to have to do a gear swap is there any special things I need or should know?

I'll post pics of the damage later.
