RE: Fearing the Worst

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill: An axle hub may be bent or distorted. This typically happens from the 
stress of removal of drums from the tapered axles. Visually inspect the rear 
drums/hubs at the mating surfaces and/or separate the hubs from the drums 
and check them with a straight edge. These are very hard to find if your's 
is bent or distorted, so you may try heating
and beating the thing(s) so its true again.
Check the hubs first then move on to your axle bearings and races.
Highly unlikely you have a bent axle.
Good Luck! Donny, 64 Belvedere.
