i just got my trans am about 4 months ago and I've already gone through a set of tires. now the car has been recked before by the previous owner but they replaced the axles. and the alignment is out but seeing how it is a solid axle there isn't any adjusting it so should i replace the hole housing because it may be bent or is their something els i should check that would cause the alignment to be out?

You could look into the axle bearings first, if they are severely worn it could cause this. If that is not the problem it would not be very expensive to get another axle. 10 bolts are relatively cheap.

Where exactly did the car get hit? Do you know?

I'll check the axle bearings, and the car was hit on the passenger side door so i don't think that may have had a effect on it because the axle's not tweaked it's just a toe and camber problem. and a buddy of mine just informed me that i can git a rear end alignment and that the place i took it to just didn't know they could.

only thing you can align at the rear of the car is tram, only then if you have adjustable LCA's. they can only check current specs which would tell you alot

yea i had Firestone check it and the specks where way off so I'll just tear into the axle tomorrow. thanks for the tips!
