Default Re: Front axle restoration

Our car was hit on the drivers side front end at the wheel.

Accident broke wishbone top mount finger at axel on drivers side. The new/replacement wishbones mounting bolt holes on fingers would not line up with axel mounting holes. Axel was bent.

We took axel to truck front end shop. They fixed problem. Everything went back together properly. Front end alignment was than done. Car drivers and handles correctly.

If I had another bent axel. I would not try to fix it myself. I would again have a front end shop take care of it. They did not use heat. They had a big press. Enjoy.
