Default Re: Bent rear axles? never seen one?

Normal service, probably not likely. A hard skid into a curb, for instance, I can see the possibility of a slight bend in that forged axle. ANY bend at all will produce a wobble in the wheel during rotation. A bend of a few thousandths at the axle would show significant run-out at the tread 14 or 15 inches distant from the center. DD
