The Model A Differential employs a 3/4 floating axle. The weight of the vehicle is carried by the bearing surface on the axle housing on which the bearing in the hub runs. The axle provides the turning power for the wheel. While a bent wheel is not ideal it should cause no excessive or dangerous load on the axle. JMO.
