How bent are the axles that you all are talking about. Mine has a bit of a wobble to it, not much. I have no idea if this is normal or if the axles are perfectly true when new.

Mine was bent up on both sides. You could not see it but as soon as you drove it, it would go up and down up and down. It was bad! So I got a new one and after one ride with no jumping it wobbles slightly. I ride pretty aggresive but I don't slam stuff you know. It is a sport quad, ride like ya stole it. It is rough on the dirt anyways so I could care less about a slight wobble as long as it doesn't affect the rear bearings.

I don't know if the axle is true when its new. I know my Z has a wobble to her, but not a crazy one, just a slight one. My axle is on order and I should have it installed the first week of July. If it bends again I'll be getting a aftermarket axle.
