Help! Rear Axel Stud Snapped... what to do?

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

if you are talking about the two bolts that hold to the 
frame at the rear axle bushing area, don't weld the axle 
to the frame...the rear axle is a movable item, not a 
fixed point (otherwize vw would of already welded in 
place)

there are 2 rubber bushings that permit a ceratin degree 
of movement to the rear axle, if you are wondering what 
I am talking about, go check my tech note on rear axle 
bushing on my web site http://www.longcoeur.com/scirocco
