Default How can I tell if my axle "C" is bent
Is there a way that I can tell if my axle "C" is bent? Is there a measurement that I can do other than the old "eyeball" method?

I am planning on buying the gussets but I have been running 37in tires for about 2k miles and I am concerned that the damage has already been done.

Bring it down to TeraFlex and have Dennis take a look at it.

Correct or pull the shafts and take a peek down the axle tubes.

If he pulls the shafts, he might as well install some chromo ones!
