Bent Axle?
Bent Axle? There has been a very annoying squeking noise coming from one of the rear wheels at about 15 - 35 mph. So today I put the rear of the car on jack stands and put it in 3rd gear and let it idle so that I could maybe find what the culprit was. I got out and noticed that one of my wheels was wobbling real bad. I took off the wheel and put it in 3rd again and the disc and hub was doing the same thing. Since the disc was wobbling, it would come in contact with the brake pad causing the squeking noise. I figured that I have a bent axle. Does this sound accurate?
Should I just replace it with a stock axle or should I go with aftermarket axles? The car will simply be a bolt on car. I can't seem to find any axles anywhere. Where's the best place to buy? Maybe I should just go ahead and get a 9"...if I only had the $$$
.
First the clutch goes out on me, then the clutch master decides to take a dump and die, and now I have a bent axle! What next?

did u take that guys axle?
and if you do take out the axle just go get a pair of bearings and change em anyway.
I currently think I might have bent mine.
Can you describe the sound a little better? Mine seems to sound like metal on metal.

i had to replace my axle bearings with the repair kit from autozone. i have ALOT of wear where the bearings run. it was a real loud roar. the new bearings fixed the prob. so i would put new bearings in while i had it all apart
