hey guys has anyone ever had their rear axle leak from under the spring perches. my spring perches on my 8.8 seemed to have just ripped or tore open my axle tube. i welded it once already but it only cleared up the leak for like a week. before i tear it all apart again to weld it i thought i would ask if anyone else had done anything else to fix this problem?

happened to me also. welding the tubes fixed it for a couple months, then it started leaking again. best bet is to find a new housing
