REAR AXLE BEND
The rear axle shaft is hardened to approximately 3″ to
4″ (7.6 to 10 cm) from the outer ends. This allows the
shaft to bend in case of impact or accident. Small
amounts of axle runout can be straightened using V
blocks, a hydraulic press, and a dial indicator.
CAUTION: Do not use heat on any part of the axle.
Heat will destroy the temper and cause the shaft to
become brittle.
