Help... It's broken and looks serious this time

[Mumpy]

Had a clunking strange noise from rear axle so had a look yesterday and have found out that the o/side bracket on top of the rear axle has sheared. It's completely rotted out.

Anyone else had this problem?

I'm assuming the whole rear axle casing needs replacing as the bracket looks like it's welded on. If someone could confirm my worst fears I would oddly be grateful. Apologies for not knowing what the brackets called but it attaches to a short stabiliser arm.

It's a Gen3 SsRg it that helps....

Yup, not a rare problem I'm afraid. The drain holes in the uprights were easily clogged so they would sit there full of water.

You can either get a new rea axle housing from someone like milners, or just find someone breaking a surf with the same axle code as yours and swap that over.

I'll have a spare axle at some point, but it'll not be for a month or so, and you'll be wanting one sooner than that!
