Bent front diff housing

Post by riordons »

Does anyone know where (Melbourne Geelong Ballarat area) I could get a 80 series front diff housing straightened it is bent to about 3 degrees negative camber on the drivers side and 2 degrees on left (guessing as have not had a wheel alignment done)? They ar'nt built for jumping on dunes!!:?:

Go to a truck alignment shop, they should be able to do it in-car for about $400 or so. Its very common for them to bend the axle when they wheel align trucks to achieve the desired alignment settings. I have seen the same problem in a saf 100 series, apparently the vehicle was jumped causing the housing to bend and give negative 2 degrees camber.
