Re: Our first Jeep
GOT it!
My previous guess was goofy. Is it the end of each axle tube were the u-joint connects to the rotor assembly. I now recall an artical on guys welding in steel reinforcements to keepem from bending.

Re: Our first Jeep
The Cs are the other portions of the axle tubes that connect to the Knuckle and allows the wheel to turn. They tend to bend in either direction.
Being in windsor you have several options decently close by. TMR customs has a decent set available but I tend to suggest Staangs fab for almost anything and this is the same case. Staang has welded up the Cs on one that I saw and it was really well done. Heres some pictures of the C welded up.
The axle truss is usually a good idea too, the tubes tend to bend upwards aswell with larger tires. I'd do that as soon as possible.
Or sleeve it like Eric (from staangs fab) did here
