Default Re: Worn rear axle threads

Conaway, a good permanent fix would be to have the axle built up and re threaded. A GOOD welding shop should be able to spray the appropriate material on and then re thread your axle. Just make sure they are experienced enough to do it correctly so as not to change the temper of the steel. I am NOT referring to having someone use a wire welder to do the build up, but to have the material thermally sprayed on. Big difference in the amount of heat generated between the two methods.
