Bent Rear axle

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Topic says it. Ive got a bent rear left axle. from a curbing a long time ago, Its slowing my car down cause my rotor and brakes are rubbing about 3/4ths the time the wheel spins. I need to get a replacement but Dont want to go somewhere really. was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick one up. and if there was only OEM parts avalible.

Axle shaft??? or the axle tube/housing?

Try contacting Mark over at HPSalvage.com he should be able to get a hold of one for you.

An axle shaft swap would take about an hour, if you didn't know what you were doing and took your time!

find out what it costs, but over all with new rotors and pads and a used rear axle swap, I put in a lt1 rear axle with 3.42s, LSD, and disc brakes for abotu $500 total, and $383 for the used axle to be shipped from www.speedautomotive.com.

Jsut keep it in mind when you get into pricing things. I had a pinion seal leak and a bad axle, was cheaper to do the swap then fix everything.

hehe, Ive got disc brakes, 3.42s so the only difference would be that it wasnt bent and I could say I had a sports rear. Yea, like I was talkin with my tire guy and he said installed he fix the rear for 300. It was like 196 for the part new. ... still contemplating
