Does anyone know of a method for straightening an axle when it is off the car?? I have seen I-beams bent in front end shops. But unable to find anything on Model A axles.

Hi Bob,

I am unclear as to whether you are talking about the front axle or a rear axle. There are certainly ways to straighten both of these, but doing it properly without introducing counter-bends requires quite a bit of skill. Happy Motoring!
