An un- stress- relieved front axle tig weld on a 4130 broke my back. King pin spud snapped off in mid- corner, front wheel and the rest folded under and like a pole vault, right into a wall and several barrel rolls later, it was over. I didn't even know about the flips until 7-8 tears later when my wife and daughter told me about it. The weld failed right at a margin.jet
