The rear diff housing on the Troopie has two small cracks that appear to be on the weld seam.

I have tried to mig weld the crack but it looks like the crack opens up again.

I have ground out the weld and lifted the weight of the diff housing ( raised the back of the vehicle so that the wheels were almost off the ground), but after the next trip the cracks appear again

I have to change the shackle bushes and check the springs before I leave so I can take the diff housing out from the vehicle if that would help.

I have also thought of welding small strips of steel over the crack to see if this would help.

Has anyone had small cracks in there diff housing repaired and how was it done?
