Larry;

I think I'm the only one on the list that mine broke, Dana had a run that
were not welded properly and it appears that CC's fix for the ones they
were not sure about was to weld the tubes (in the spreader holes). You can
obviously tell because that is the only part of the axle assembly that is
not painted. Ford also had the problem, at the same time, but they put out
a recall on ALL Expeditions. (Dana assembly also)
