Travelling northern Argentina and the hanger for the rear shock absorber has broken the welds to the axle. I've been reading that its possible to warp the axle when welding. I know nothing about welding so my questions..
What tips do you have for avoiding this risk?
Is it really a problem with such a heavy axle?
The truck is a 2010 Isuzu NPS (Aust spec) with R066 6600kg rated axle.
We're heading for Buenos Aires with another 10days before flying out. The truck is driving fine, we've just travelled 100km on rough dirt roads and I couldn't tell the difference....which probably means its time for new shocks but one problem at a time!
Comments appreciated.
