Can't tell if it's a crack or if the weld is just undercut on part. Maybe a cold weld? I dunno but either way it probably shouldn't look like that.

It definitely shouldn't look like that. Looks it's not properly welded to the tube. Just worried about driving it.

It may have been the cricket that breached the interior of my house and decided to F with me all night long that originally woke me up, but as I laid awake in bed, I wondered for hours what my axle looked like right there underneath my gussets thanks to this post.

Is that on a 2013 like your join date? How many miles? Didn't see info in the profile.
