Drive axle is damaged

[Scott & Heather]

I'm not averse to having the axle cut and weld
Replaced. Just need to make that happen when we have more time.

You did what I would have done.  There is nothing particularly unsafe about that stub axle, just a potential leak that you can watch for.  It's a drive axle, so it's not like there are only a few ounces of lubricant in the hub, it gets lubed from the differential.  Prove there's a problem before you fix it, and you do that by driving it and watching for a leak.

I know I'm late to game.. did you check and  make sure axle vent  is open.  will push expanded oil pass seal on drive axle.   dang muddobbers,,

Haven't checked that bob. I'll
Have to when I get under there. So far still no leakage. After the RR we did lean the axle over to allow the diff oil to lube it. And we topped off the diff oil too. Everything seems good so far

Agree with above post
Mud dobbers and the like can cause havoc .(plugging the vent)
