Default Welding on Car axle

What's that Lassie? You say that SCOTT fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue
by Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:50:42 -0400:

One of the control arm brackets has rusted and broken off the rear axle
housing of my car. I can make up a new bracket, but then need to weld
it to the axle housing.. The axle runs inside of this in oil-from the
differential. Can I weld to it without starting a fire? Any advice


Jack up one side of the axle so the oil runs to the other side.
