My rear axel is bent just enought that I can see the wheel wobble about 3/8" Does anyone out there know of a company that can straighten them?

I'm not an aggressive rider but I'm sure alot of you have bent axels and I can't imagine that everyone is dropping $300+ for a new axel ss easy as they bend.

Can you shim the wheel and loose most of the run out?

Any machine shop with a press should be able to bend the axle back to the point where you should not notince the wobble. It is nearly impossible to bend it back as good as new, but it should be close. Make sure you don't use heat!
