Bent axle?

AdaBoNGT · May 11th, 2011, 09:54 PM

So a little while ago I hit a pretty big pothole. About a week later I heard grinding noises from the back left. My quad shock was blown. Replaced both rears and I'm still hearing it although not as loud. Had someone drive my car as I followed and the left rear wheel wobbles. Its not bad enough that I feel it as I drive but it is visible while watching it roll. Any ideas what might be the problem besides a bent axle? If it is a bent axle o guess its a good time to upgrade to a 31 spline.

You would have to upgrade your trac lok to a 31 spline as well. It's alot cheaper to just replace the axle. I have both my stock 28 splines if you want them just pay the PP and shipping and they are yours.

Yeah i know i would have to change the trac lok. What better time than now since this happened.

True enough, I can't say I didn't take advantage of a similiar situation to upgrade mine.
