rear axle is bent what now?
I noticed that the rear tires were wearing funny like they where "toed in". the out sides of the tires are worn alot more than the in side. I measured the outside to outside of the tires and the fronts are 3/4" closer than the rear of the tire. the bearings are not worn out the only other thing I can think of is my axle tubes are bent. does anyone have any other ideas what to do next?

and just bring them the housing with the tubes. Took them a day. It was a frame and brake shop in Santa Rosa CA.

Maybe covered under your auto insurance if bent, might be worth a phone call....Road damaged.... Put a complete in and check the axles to make sure they are not damaged. I have changed front axles because they were bent on 4X4's and it was covered under warranty. Insurance did pay for one front axle also.

I had a 1500 a while back and the rear axle was bent. I did look at the junk yards, but no success. Most of the trucks there had bent axles. I decided to check with my local shops to see if they could straighten the axle. I found one and never had any problems after that. I would see if you could straighten the axle. Thats my two cents.
