Morris Minor Owners Club

I expect this has been seen before but Its a first for me , rear axle off a 67 traveller cracked on both sides causing an alarming camber at wheels[frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
All stripped out now and gone for scrap
Hope you all had a nice xmas guys

Worrying, and most unusual to have it occur on both sides! Any pics of the "alarming camber"?

My Traveller's axle has a small rust hole under one of the perches, which did worry me when I first saw it, but it's been OK now for several years (I put some grease over it to prevent further rust).

I had this recently when I saw gear oil leaking out around the u bolts.... it is a weak area sadly and good axles getting hard to source.... they collect all mud dirt water around the mounting area and also around the handbrake cable mount....

I shall be carefully checking my 4dr minor next time I am at the workshop

Ive never seen it rot/crack to that extent but have had the mounting point rot causing the axle to turn as you take off and causing some strange noises!
