Re: Rear Axle Messtoration
A machine shop that is capable of machining the bearing hub can also straighten the housing. I have seen it done. The flange is bolted to a face plate on a lathe, the unit is rotated and the hub end is observed. If it is low the opposite side of the housing is heated with a torch. This procedure is continued around the circumference until the hub end is straight, then it is machined and a replacement race is pressed on with an interference press fit. I have had a number of them done this way.
