<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I believe I have 'Mueller' made axles on my Spitfire. One side has quite a bit of play. The other side, the yoke that attaches to a spicer ujoint at the diff was welded to the axle. That yoke has cracked along the weld line. This yoke has 10 splines and is secured with a circlip around the axle shaft.<br><br>Other racing axles I have seen have a 1/4 bolt drilled through the yoke and shaft.<br><br>Based on the attached pictures, should I (a) look to replace the entire setup (b) have a machine shop drill for a 1/4" bolt or (c) something else all together. <br><br>The axle at the hub appears to be fine. <br><br>This car has a long racing history with logbook back to the early 70s.<br><br><a href="http://s182.photobucket.com/user/tx63conv/media/Spitfire/CEFFB838-A2A8-4B78-839F-AC308DC42EB5_zpsm17lc7cp.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://s182.photobucket.com/user/tx63conv/media/Spitfire/CEFFB838-A2A8-4B78-839F-AC308DC42EB5_zpsm17lc7cp.jpg.html</a><br><br><a href="http://s182.photobucket.com/user/tx63conv/media/Spitfire/3010C47E-F3D8-452A-993A-4495F7BBC54D_zpsu9iuwg2d.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://s182.photobucket.com/user/tx63conv/media/Spitfire/3010C47E-F3D8-452A-993A-4495F7BBC54D_zpsu9iuwg2d.jpg.html</a><br><br>There is an old post with similar axles but I didn't see what the resolution was.<br><a href="http://www.team.net/html/fot/2012-02/msg00063.html" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.team.net/html/fot/2012-02/msg00063.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/html/fot/2012-02/msg00063.html</a></a><br><br>Thanks for the help.<br><br>Derek<br><br> </div></body>
