It seems to me that Ken Gillanders told me of a trick of shortening
the top of the tube and rewelding it to get some negative camber at
the rear.  If so, it should be possible to weld the axle tube to
the diff casing in this case to keep it from moving.  Otherwise,
if there's a casing available to change over to, that might be the
way to go (I thing I know where there's some empty cases, right
Chip?) if they want to pay for its removal and shipping - which
is likely to be expensive.
