Good to know about the axle jig procedure. I just did that one on the fly and figured with my less than stellar weld skills, a weld farther from the bearing would be in a less stressed area. When i put the axle in and seated the splines, the tube was bubble up on my level and I had the carrier on a cradle and the axle flanges on identical height scissor jacks. forgot to mention I had the ends supported. Came out straight but I still was a little leary of my welds. Buddy sold the car with rear in tow before we could get everything installed. Id do it again. It was easy as 1-2-3: 1 cut, 2 perches, 3 welds.
