Default Bent Axel?? **Video**

When the wheel is on and in the air spinning its wobbles so i took everything apart and this is the results. So does it look like its bent?

It doesn't really look like it wobbling. I would put the suspected wheel on a tire balancing machine and see if the wheel is bent.

I took the drivers side wheel and put it on there to see if it was a bent wheel, and its doing the same thing the other wheel did. So it must be a bent axle i guess.

One last video I put two spacers on and tightened them so the rotor was held on and then put it in drive. So does the axle look bent?

What did you hit? Mount a dial indicator out there somehow and check to see how much run out you have.

It's bent. My brakes made that same dragging sound. I tried replacing the brakes twice before doing the axle. Sound disappeared once I replaced the axle.
