if they are pitted, just buy new ones.
I bought from ebay from DLS ;Land Rover supplies,
good to deal with, good pricing and the product is very good.

Problem is, as mentioned by Chazza, some of the aftermarket ones are rubbish.

If it's a few pits then worthwhile trying epoxy metal. More than that then look for another axle or try (and keep your fingers crossed) some aftermarket ones.

I found an axle complete with better swivels for one of mine. fixed everything up and then parted out a LWB wagon and scored a front axle with the wide brakes (6-cyl motor originally) and perfect swivels !
