Need axle/ welder help
The C8.25 rear in my XJ is having some trouble. The differential casing has rotated around the axle tubes (don't ask how it happened: I don't know), and needs to be rotated back and welded in place. Is there anyone that has the tools to do this? I for sure need somebody with very good welding skills, as mine aren't up to the task yet.
Thanks,
Henry

I have whatever holds up a 93 XJ, drum to drum 60k on it with 3.73s if that helps.

Re: Need axle/ welder help
It doesn't need to be rotated and welded. Its life is over and it needs to be replaced. Since XJ axles are junk, they are also cheap. Just replace the housing and/or entire axle and you'll be way ahead than if you tried your current plan.hklvette wrote:The C8.25 rear in my XJ is having some trouble.

I don't think it had ever been touched. The car looks like it had been treated well till it was rolled. There might be other parts worthwhile as well. I'd like $150.

Re: Need axle/ welder help
Probably, they make them big enough to fit on tractor tires. Nell Jean in Beckley, WV sells the ones i bought, so you might call them first. Not too cheap, but they last if you keep them from rusting.MILLER wrote:Probably all that grip with those tire chains. know anyone that makes them for 38.5x14.50 SXs?

Edit: People here *cough*Pete*cough* knock on me having chains, but i don't know of anyone else that has twisted and axle casing...do you?
