That's a good idea! Find a big rig truck shop and ask to see if they can straighten it out. Might be cheaper than shipping.

.....well, I'm trying to send you a private message but unable to. I like this webpage but there are things that I dislike about it too and this is one of them.
I'm going to be busy the rest of this week and wont be able to get to it until next week. I'll let you know what I find out.
I tried to PM you as well, but couldn't figure it out. Definitely let me know. I live in a smaller town and will probably have to drive a couple hours to get to a shop that deals with big trucks/ bends axles

I figured out how to send a private message but got this. Check your settings in your profile.

I checked the settings and didn't see anything about enabling pm's. Maybe it's because I'm new and have to reach a certain post count before it's enabled?

You must have clicked on the right thing because I was able to send you a message.
I had a pair of fenders shipped to me from Oregon to Dallas via YRC freight. Look them up and see if they're near by.
Message me back with your address and I'll see what shipping estimate will be. I have the extra axle stored away at my parents place but will be going there this weekend.

I'll look them up. This is the one I picked up a few weekends ago.



The old axle on the left for comparison. It's a lot straighter.

You can see it's still a little off


New on left, old on right.
