Well, to be honest, I personally did not break the axle housing. I simply finished breaking what the previous owner had started to break. When I got the truck, the right side axle tube had been welded to the center chunk and the weld was cracked. It seeped fluid. Lately though, it had been dumping fluid.

And then today I attempted a trailer burnout with a 5k trailer attached. The truck leaned HARD to the right, pulled to the left and there was a lot of wheel hop instead of a burnout.

I believe the right side tube is now spinning freely and causing a boatload of spring wrap.

It drives REALLY goofy under acceleration now, lol.
 
Heat the crap out of it with a torch and burn that sucker back together around the tube with some 6010. It'll be alright!
