axle shaft straitening

Generally not a good idea to attempt to straighten an axleshaft. The hardness of the material does not make them a good candidate, plus the expense just to get it true would probably exceed the cost of a new one.

If you have bent multiple shafts on the same side I would also take a close look at the axlehousing itself.
