Welding my 14 bolt and sprung a leak!
I was re-doing my traction bar on my jeep's 14 bolt and it now have a small drip out of the press joint between the tube and center section. Damn. And on top of the housing a small bit of oil pulled up im guessing thru some porosity. No biggy but i thought id share it with yall.

Re: Welding my 14 bolt and sprung a leak!
Is that a homemade bar? It kinda looks like an Off-Road Design bar.

Re: Welding my 14 bolt and sprung a leak!
Since we are on the subject, Has anybody ever welded the tube to the housing?
I know one is steel and one is cast, but would it be stronger if done correctly?.......Pre heat...Post heat....etc.

Re: Welding my 14 bolt and sprung a leak!
My understanding is that it all has to do with the post heat/cooling rates between the two metals. Petersons 4wheel did a write up on it a couple of months ago, I'll have to flip through and see if I can find it.

Re: Welding my 14 bolt and sprung a leak!
Weld the tube to the diff.14 bolts are known for spinning the tubes.Just pre and post heat.Using a high nickel rod doesn't hurt either.But many have just used a Mig.
