i called them they said only against bending or breaks and if its bent they well striaghten it and not give me a new one only if it was broke and the splines are normal wear not covered

eeeh... I wouldn't go welding on things like that. There's a reason all manufacturers use press-on hubs, splines, or pins to secure things of this nature together. Welding has a habit of deforming the surrounding metal. Even if the deformation is not visible to the eye, it could be visible to the ER when you lose a tire at the top of 4th and peg a tree. :-/
