    Welcome.....


    I suggest converting it to a Solid axle. No more breakage then.

    Well whinin cobra, I noticed my driver side rear tire was kinda swaying left and right, it felt real loose my mechanic kept tightening the axle nut with loc tight and i just found out they are a one time use so i went to ford and had them replaced and the other day when i had my tires rotated they noticed my axle was broke, i have no idea how it happened other than it must have already been cracked when i bought it last year cause where it was broke it was rusted so its been broke for awhile.

    Looks clean! Looks like you have an aftermarket heat exchanger as well. How many miles?
