Bent axle housing

I wish I had a way to strap it down and stuff it in a press. It's not bent that bad but it's not straight either. I found a place called (DTS) Drive Train Specialist in Warren. They said they can handle the job. The local 4x4 shop sends their housings to them. We shall see. Thanks for the responses. I'll post back afterwards.

Just remember one thing. If that housing end on that side was replaced with the housing bent, it's likely been positioned so that's it's straight in relation to the axle. In other words, when you have the housing straightened, it may put that housing end and bearing in a bind. ....or it may not.

Even if that's the case, I would still want that housing straight. If it's in a bind after it's straight, you will of course have to cut that end off and straighten it up, or replace it with one welded on straight.
