Default Got Torque? *carnage pic*

Took my 9" apart today and found this on the passenger side axle (31 spline). Drivers side was only slightly twisted, took a straight edge to see it. I took the locker out two years ago because the splines were showing alot of wear. The locker only engages about 3/4 of an inch of the splines, the spool was about a half inch more. I really hate the way the spool kills my tires.
At this point I figure on moving up to a 35 spline axle. Any venders that would like to PM me a quote? I need 35 spline axles (gun drilled?), new wheel bearings (3.150/1.562), 3.7 P.S. gear set, setup kit (3.062 daytona) new spool or locker I am open to options at this point, please break prices down by item and show delivery charges to 44904. Will be ordering next week.

Axle housings are fine.

well stepping up to 35 splined axles will help cure this but sometimes its another bandaid. I wanted to get my 12 bolt narrowed not for the looks of a deep dish wheel but for the streangth of shorter axles. for my set up I know gun drilled axles are not for me. but my ride isnt as radical as yours. yet.
