question on bent rear axle
bent the rear pass side axle. i have been told its an outer bend. does that mean its is bent at the wheel flange? also what all is involved to replace the axle such as bearings, seals, etc.... there is a slight wobble to the wheel when spining but not that bad. and yes i am going to upgrade to the chromollys.

If only the axle is damaged then it is a simple fix. If the axle tube is damaged then that is different. If you purchase the axles from David at Northridge he will press the ABS rings and bearings on for you.

If you end up needing a new axle, I have my old rear axle sitting in the garage and I'm down in Fort Myers. It's got about 15,000 miles, from a JK X with 3.73 gears. I replaced them with Rubicon Axles, only looking for about $400 for it.

i appreciate the replies and offers, but im going to save a litttle more and just get the chromollys. the jeep is still driveable, just slight vibe and wobble. and i wil def get up with dave when time comes to order hopefully in dec and have him press everything on for me. thanks again everyone.
