Mitch I would advise against straightening your axle mate, they are hardened steel (about2-3mm thick of the outside metal) and that makes it more brittle. as soon as you apply heat heat or bend it back it alters the structure of the metal again creating a soft or weak spot which may, when stressed by wheelspin or large amounts of torque snap the axle in half. I studied metallurgy for 2 years in college when doing my fitting/machining apprenticeship. Have you tryed ftg auto salvage for another axle? they deal in xr6's and fpv wrecking and am pretty sure they have a few ba mk2 utes as well as a typhoon in there.

Thanks for the info, just looked up that ftg on the web, will give them a call on moday. Thanks
