i bent my axle housing not alot but enough were it wears bearings in 3 months is there any way i can measure it to see how much its off by?
its only the drivers side thats messed up.
Is there a way i can straighten it? Can I use ratcheting straps to straighten it?
Find yourself a new housing...they are cheap at wrecking yards...once the tube is bent its pretty much done. You could probably have someone straighten it but with the time and expense, a new housing would be easier.
The different axle shaft lengths is what changes the wheelbase. 94-98 rear axles are about 3/4" longer than the fox bodies, and the 99-04 are another 3/4" longer than our cars. The axle housing is identical, but the axles themselves are longer. Basically, the axles stick out of the housing a bit farther.
well i'll look at some junkyards for 86-98 axle housing how much do you think they will charge, how would i can I check to make sure that axle housing is not bent?
its too bad there are no junkyards with 15 miles from me.
guess i gots too call around.
