STRANGE axel twisted?

I,m doing work on my 66 Dart race car.I decided to change out my studs on my Strange axels in my narrowed 8 3/4 with spool.When I pulled the drivers side axel,I noticed the end is twisted.Now I have to buy 1 replacement axel after 1 year of racing with a 410/904.I thought these were hardened race axels?:angry2:
