    Would you trust it on a drive axle?

    Ha! Maybe I'll put it on the steer axle just for laughs.

    Since the crack is from stud hole to stud hole the vehicle will be out of service. Otherwise it’s a DOT warning.

    I would work towards replacing it but it possibly would run hundreds of thousands of more miles.

    It ‘s scrap because it is cracked from seat to seat. The next time a monkey puts your wheels on in a circular pattern and just stands on the air hammer kick the crud out of them. Criss cross and proper torque and that will not happen.

    I patched a trailer air tank with that stuff and it held for the 2 weeks I was out until I could get it replaced.
