Diagnosing a BENT axle shaft flange the easy way

  • In this video I bust out the dial indicator and find out both my axle flanges are bent causing my brake pads to flop around and make a bunch of noise. I replace them with some new shafts and it is good to go. These are 35 spline Yukon axle shafts with Timken SET20 bearings in my built 1980 F150 Ford 9 inch rear axle.

    I have a question about a back axel on a truck and say if there was something wrong with the axel and say that person was touching the axel to see if there was something wrong can he get shock or burnt by it if the car was turn on with motor running?
    My friend has a Dodge truck and he's always crawling under it to see if it's damage and i'm just worry that he might get burnt or shock by it and really I don't know anything about car repair so I thought my friend would get hurt while the car was running.

    when I 1st heard about this problem of flange bending running giant tires I knew the fix, God model would hve pre-bent flanges b4 the r used on the axle. Ppl didn't understand, but quit simple, if thin plate will bend simple math then bend it making it in press then attach flat plat to the pre-bent plate w/filler brace wedges. This way still ultra thin light efficient axles for spinning but just pre-bent so can't bend while using imposs load used to make flange then 2nd flat thin plate & filler wedges. I only speak english unlike satan santa so hope that was clear enough diff person hearing it. 6 press 20ton bends will b indestructible finish product.

    Hey! How did you rule out the housing though. A bent axle tube would also cause a wobble on the flange no?

    • @MuddyBeards4X4
      @MuddyBeards4X4  Před 2 lety

      Very true, but when I changed the axle shaft the wobble would be the same if it was the housing, not almost completely go away.

    The "Flip" was 144 degrees at the best, not 180. Them "Jumbo" wheels cause "breakage & bendage" when "off roading"--just an expensive hobby. Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe Wrenching.

    Awesome! I think it's a good ideia check you axle housing if isn't bent. That can cause your axle shafts to bend. Btw what is your front axle?

      @@MuddyBeards4X4 Have you always used the RCVs in the front or was that an upgrade after some broken shafts? The tires are 40's, right?

    • @MuddyBeards4X4
      @MuddyBeards4X4  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes, 40’s. I broke one U joint /axle shaft and upgraded maybe a year later. But the break was my fault, I didn’t have my bump stops set up correctly so the tire was stuffed in the fender and then broke the axle. I Didn’t have an issue after I properly set up my bump stops.

    I'm confused how a bent axle would cause a wheel to wobble...one would think the axle being bent would cause a fixed camber issue but not a wobble...perhaps the axles were in fact bent but it was the bearings also failed (if enough force bent axle then also damaged bearings) causing the wobble...
