Re: Rear axle moving left/right

I agree with 1project2many. the axles tubes are welded from factory, to the housing, to the leaf mounting pads and to the brake mounting bosses.

They can be welded.
Obviously your life could depend on weld quality.

Good luck convincing your DMV they are wrong!

The G80 rear axle carrier is common option on all sizes of Chevrolet light trucks. It only locks at relatively low speeds for traction.

The one on the picture scares me, looks like it has had moisture in it.
