I think my 8 ¾ housing is toast.

Is it just me or... it looks like you axle is actually bent???
The axels not bent,it,s just the splines twisted.I guess it looks bent but was holding the straight edge and camera to take a pic.That axel was the first one I bent before replacing it,just to have the next one twist and the housing bend $$:banghead:.Dana with CM driveshaft and 1350 u-joints(904 slip yoke)from Mancini,s.No more bending/twisting :D
