Axle Straightening Part 2

[Dale]

Thanks Wooders.

The figure I got was from Quadratec from memory. i only looked once when i first noticed it bent and checked there to get an idea of cost before exploring my options.

As to how, well. This is my theory. At the time I was traversing a deep rut. The drivers rear wheel left the ground and started spinning. The wheel dropped and grabbed a rock...one thing the claws do like to grab hold of. I can not put finger on anything else that happened that weekend that could have caused it.

FWIW, I wasn't driving like a dick or going hard in any way, just bad luck.

Oh and the shaft was out .075" or 2mm.

Hey Dale, I wouldn't worry too much about the twist in the spline.When I did the Warn upgrade my old axles had a really nice twist to them.Not sure how long they were like that but with all the abuse the TJ cops they stood up pretty well.

if your going to get a fresh axle e-mail me direct & we'll se if we can get a cheap new one or a mint second hand unit.

the warn axles are supposed to be the best aftermarket units you can get. I could dig up the posts on POR for you or you could wander over there and have a look.

As for buying some spares - you know shane/firetruck is selling his old ones. both dana30 and dana44.

cheers
