bent axle or bent tube

[mossyoaktj]

the dana 35 in the rear of my tj has a slight wobble only on the dr side. the tire does not lean so i dnt think its a tube. but because of the side to side wobble in fact it may be the the weak axle itself. just seeing what everyone else thought before i replaced the shaft.

not lookng and putting a new rear in it just yet. im deploying to afghanistan this year and well a whole new beastly rear end is goin in:D .

jus wanting this fixed for more efficiency on minor trails. dnt want to get hung up with a bent axle and snap the little guy

Just for giggles, I'd rotate the tires, just to rule that out...

brand new tires already been rotated 2x since mounted. only have 6k on them roughly. and its always the dr side rear. no where else. the tires are the trxus sts so i know its not lugs makin me see things.lol

Well, then yeah, I'd suspect the axle shaft.

I may still have an old spare you could have, I bet somebody closer to you might, too...
