Steering wheel still straight when going straight ahead ?
I bent a rear housing on a 2016 1/2 ton ford .
Didn’t take much of a hit and didn’t hurt anything other then housing .
I was completely shocked but it was bent.
You can also just measure from tire wheel flair for this ?

That reminds me of back in the day when leaving the Saleen car show a friend in a 98 Cobra attempted to do a nice burn out while leaving and lost it, ended up going across the road and hitting the wheel against the curb. It had a wobble going home and found it bent the axle, slid a new one in and was all good.

Had some time yesterday since we got dumped on. It’s definitely a bent axle shaft, checked square on the housing and it looks true. Going to order a shaft, bearing and oil seal, replace fluid and install a new diff cover. I’ll be back out thrashing it in a week. Gonna need @1roadking wheels.

You buy a vehicle from me and it’s truly Trail Tested.
