I could be wrong
John, but I believe solid in this context refers to drawn tube or pipe (as in steam pipe), rather than welded.
As you would be aware, pipe is usually stronger than solid bar anyway, and a deal lighter.
I have heard though, that it's not legal to use a diff housing as a trailer axle assembly.
