    So upon cleaning up the front axle and knuckles...I found this:

    Look closer:

    So I did this:

    1/4" Gussets cut out with my plasma:

    2012-11-13181246_3d6ca64075311fd481d6c7f7e514068f56705351.jpg

    Gussets were MIG'd after a 400°F Pre-heat :

    And then were post heated and slow cooled afterwards for about 3 hrs. :D

    Forgive my ignorance, but is the preheating due to the knuckle being cast? In any event, looks good!

    Yes, they are cast nodular iron. Behaves more like cast steel than cast iron, but the preheating reduces the stresses induced from localized heating/cooling, preventing cracking of the casting.

    Done. Preheated to approx 400°F and welded up with the MIG set very hot. Couple passes peening each one, very similar to what I did on my knuckles.
