Hypothetical situation....
Say I cut a front axle (from a 10 bolt IFS) in half right where the CV boots almost touch, then slipped each end into a hollow tube/pipe and welded it back together but with a 2" gap between the two axle ends. (The goal is to add 2" to the axle length.)
Would the welding make the axle weaker than the already weak CV's? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
Does this require a special welder? (other than standard mig.)

Just curious.

Why?....Because they dared me to!!!
