it might got broken because there was almost no oil left in the diff when I removed it from the rear axle..

the pinion seal leaked badly and the reason might be that it overheated when you welded the differential.. or perhaps it's been that way even before you bought the car ;)

 

anyway.. I'm quoting what brownie said to me before it broke

"the stock ke70 rear axle is bulletproof"

 

perhaps bulletproof, but not unbreakable;)

 

what really amazes me is that after the diff broke we changed to a volvo 240 rear axle ( 8" diff, 280mm discs for those of you that don't know )

the mounts on the ke70 was cut of and welded to the volvo axle using a tape measure against rusty wheel arches and eye measurements in a rush..

a few weeks later brownie drove to a 4wheel alignment shop.. and the rear axle was actually better aligned than the front suspension!!!
