How exactly did you bend in the first place? I was just curious.

Thats hard to bend an axle on a 4x4. I've seen it on Banshee's and stuff but never a 4x4

My blaster axle was bent and a machine shop was able to straighten it up. The wolverine is almost identical to the blasters axle... Or did you bend the tubing??

Greetings fellow mud beings
The Yamaha Wolverine axles up to 2001 bent fairly easily if you did any jumping with the quad. I have friends who tried to straighten them but it is hard to get them perfect. Once you bend a steel axle and then straighten it you always have the possibility of it breaking on you. The best solution is a Durablue axle. They are usually guaranteed for life but they cost more than the stock OEM axle. If you want a link where you can see prices and specs try www.atvtires.com [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
