[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16540891, member: 193960"] Relo brackets apply more torque to the axle tubes because they act on a longer lever arm, so you can't discount the relo brackets as having no blame here. The LCA force for a given amount of traction decreases, just not as fast as the lever arm gets longer. The only reason I can think of for welding the tubes on the car would be if you didn't mind having the rear axle "bend" and put a little negative camber on the rear wheels. I know of a few road racers who have intentionally used heat (and a bit of extra force) to give a little negative rear camber, but I imagine that'd be all wrong for peoples' purposes here.
