Rear End Housing Spring Perch Welding

[big gear head]

This is a job for a professional welder more than for a rear end rebuilder. It doesn't matter if the person doing this knows anything about rear ends. It's much more important that he knows about welding and what heat can do to metal. Getting them in the right location and the correct angle is just a matter of measuring. Remove the axles and brakes and plug the housing ends to keep dirt out. Take it to the best welder that you can find. These welds were done at the factory with a MIG welder, so you don't want them stick or TIG welded. These welds were put on hot and fast, so you don't want a cold weld. Heating and cooling the opposite side of the tubes can draw them back straight again if any warping occurs. If you have another rear end that you can take with you for measuring and appearance it will be very helpful for the welder.
