Photo 63 of 487 from Ethyl-Factory Five 33 Ford Hot Rod

Junk Yard 8.8 rear end failure. The axle tube on the driver's side twisted. This was a near catastrophic failure. The stock 8.8's are only held by four spot welds. We straightened the unit, welded a bead around the tube and third member and redid the spot welds. We reinforced the lower 4 Link Mounts as well.
