Default Rear axle on d44a bent help?
i got a d44a with quadra drive in my 99 grand! my wheel had a slight wobble after pwerlines track. just replaced the rear bearings in both sides because the left side ahd a small leak, thought that i destroyed the bearings! but after taking it out. i noticed that the left hand has a 2-3 mm bend in it! if i put new bearings on, which i have, will this cause problems? how much and where can i get a new axle from? any light into getting this fixed would be a great help, i sold my spare diff a couple months ago but was only single wheeler. spewing now though. i was gonna put it back together, to see how it goes. will post back to see if it still wobbles! can i straighten rear axles?

I have same issue except with RHS.
I tried to straighten then skimmed face on lathe & its sort of ok but Im looking into replacement axles from "Alloy USA" , they are $289 usd for a bare pair ie no brgs or ABS tone ring from "Quadratec".Just waiting on international frieght quote.

cool. let me know how much shipping may be? but how do u go about putting on the abs? you would have to use your old ones? i will try hunt around from some wreckers here for a good set it not just for the left hand side! its only got the slightest wobble in it...but would it still be ok to drive? i took it out today and it seems ok off road still! can u get them professionally straightened by any chance? I'm also wondering if if it could have bent the housing too. but it all looks ok!

Mine was about 5-6mm & caused brake caliper to move so much it had a scrapping sound.Its ok now except for slight weep from seal, probably due to bend but cant straighten that close to flange.
If its not causing any troble just keep a eye on it.
BTW, tone ring is pressed off & then back on to new axle.
