I ran off the road and hit a culvert. As a result of this action my front axle became bent on the passenger side. So I clamed it on insurance and got a new axle. So what can I do with the old bent axle? Can it be salvaged? I know the axle has 4:10 gears and electronic locker. So can those go into any other axle then a Dana 44 from a JK? I am just looking for some advice and suggestions.

 

i 2nd keeping it for spare parts. i have sold many axles cheap and wished later that i kept them for the spare parts.

 

Do you mean the axle tube? yes, they can be straightened or replaced.

 

I'll take it off your hands! PM me if your thinking about selling it.

 

Oh crap, your local too!

 

I'll give you $150 for the axle shafts.

 

Ok so it is fixable! So how do I go about fixing the axle tube??? I will sell the 4:10 since I have 5:13 that I still need to install. Another thing I found out is that teraflex changed their springs. When I hit the culvert a spring popped out and they had to replace both front springs so they would match. The new front springs were about an inch taller which worked out great to level my jeep. I had bought rubicon express spacers to get the jeep back to level but now I dont have to worry about it. Thank you all so much for your help.

 

Make some calls to some 4wheel shops. I'm sure there are some step by step procedures online somwhere. I would def Gusset the axle. Post some pics on the damage.

 

Solid axle retubes housings, but I'm sure its not cheap.

 

Yeah i still have to go pick up the axle from the shop. I may try and do that today. If not i will do it next week and get some pics so you all can see what I am working with.
