Re: Dana 44 may be bent?
Measure from wheel rim to wheel rim, top and bottom. The measurements should
be the same.

Re: Dana 44 may be bent?
Yes.
Figure the angle start is normally the axle center and use a machinist
level or short carpenter level and a protractor. If you cut a straight
wood piece to fit across the rim to rim cross distance and tape the
level to it, you can get it really close by using half the angle rim to
rim shows. Use a 2x4 edge on to the rim to clear the rubber and a long
level even to see if the rears are vertical like they should be.
If it is visible, you have serious trouble.
If the axle is bent the wheel wobbles, if the tubes are blown, it just
tilts the wheels.
