I have recently bent my axle slightly, assuming that I probably can't bend it back straight. My question is that if I can't bend it back and am forced to buy another one, which one do you recommend?

axels can be straightened.
Most dont know, but aftermarket axels are bent like a bow after heat treating,then straightened then cromed.

 

So what you are telling me is to try and staighten it, before I even look at buying one.

 

You need a compitent machine shop, about a 20-ton hyd press, and a dial indicator. My dad has straightned numerous axles for me, and he has done it to the degree that they are straighter after he is done, than how they came from the factory. If you really get in a bind, PM me and im sure we can work something out. Barring that, I would suggest the Domniator axles, kinda pricy, but worth it. For light riding, a $250 dura-blu will work fine also.

 

What he said,,cept dont buy a dura blue for any price! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
