Hazard

In the rear axle housing of small trucks, improper welding procedures during the welding process have resulted in the flange at the housing end being welded in a tilted condition. This causes the rotation center to become misaligned, potentially damaging the rear axle shaft and bearings, resulting in loss of driving capability.
