If you Drag Race, PLEASE weld your axle tubes.

I bet a stock TC automatic won't have as much risk since we can't make as large a shock to the driveline as a manual.

Bingo.

On a stock motor '13, would a che brace be more than enough for now?

Absolutely.

Just sent payment for a CHE Axle Brace...dying to get it, so I can get out and have some fun!

It's a nice piece. Ties very well into everything.

$200...that's more than worth it. I'll be ordering one in the future. I've reached the limit (for me) on these street tires.

Welded my axles tubes today. it is not a easy task when you only have jackstands. I did big tacks in the 12,3,6,9 o'clock positions. then welded between the 12 and 3 o'clock position then went to the opposite side 6 and 9. Then the rest, went as smooth as possible without a lift.

Any risk of boiling the fluid if you don't drain it first before welding?

Doubt it, there being so much surface area it dispense the heat.

Aren't you supposed to wrap the weld to keep it from cooling too quickly?

Yes sir, its a good practice to do it on cast and certain times when doing aluminum. I did wrapped mine but i dont hear about others doing it, and theres being ok.

And you welded yours just on the car? On a 4-post lift or a drive on?

He said jack stands. He's the man.

He said jack stands. He's the man.

My bad, in that case:

Stands on the axle or on the frame?

^^ Like he said Jackstands lol wish i had a lift.

on the frame, let the axle hang freely but support with jack. dont wanna heat and weld, with weight on it.

Mine were welded on the car and fluid in the diff. . Had a leak on C-clip eliminator and had to pull one axle to fix the leak. Nothing disturbing on the inside from the welding that I saw.

What? You don't need both.

Better safe than sorry right? Being that I have a stick car, I plan to race a decent amount, and I am a worry wart when it comes to weak points in the rearend, plus in other cars I have broke a few already...just want to keep it from breaking as much as possible

You must be a government employee, I think. Your position makes absolutely no sense at all. More isn't always better.

I haven't done it yet, but why not both, it's just added strength right?

Oh, and not a Gov't Emp...far from it!

 

[Bmr4life]

I say not both because you don't need both. But its your car and you've had bad experiences before so do you. Probably won't hurt anything other than your wallet.
