- Hello FOT, I am thinking about a locked rear axle. I want to weld the spider gears together. How about driving with this? Does the standard axles shafts can take that load. Can I drive the car to the

- It would be rough on the street. You'll have understeer anytime you don't stand on it in the corners. I think you'd be happier with either a Detroit locker or a salisbury. Hello FOT, I am thinking ab

- Hi Bill, but does the axles can take the load? Or does they break after a short time? I is just an emergency case - the race is this weekend and the spidergear shaft came loose (2nd time). So welding

- OK, I can't resist commenting on this any longer. Any axle with the stock style taper and removable hub even if made with modern steel is still subject to breakage including a lost wheel. I'm not fam

- Chris: Not surprised. History shows us a welded diff works pretty good out on the track. But you'll have to excuse me if I try to 'look busy' when you need help pushing your car around the paddock. H
