My truck came from Virginia, and Michigan before that with lackluster maintenance history. I am rebuilding the front axles now and am stuck trying to decide what I should I do about these pitted swivel balls. I cleaned them up the best I could and used some rust converter on them.
I am trying to decide if I should use some JB Weld to fill in the pits and sand smooth or just leave them be. I feel like they will not seal as well and increase potential for dirt intrusion if left pitted. JB Weld seems like it should be strong enough and hold up fine, but still the idea seems iffy to me.
What would you do and why?
