bent axle or bent tube

mossyoaktj · 01-25-2010, 01:27 AM

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

.

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...

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...
