Bent axle shafts?
Hey guys. I have an issue thats giving me an extreme vibration on the highway past 100km/h. It's a 1991 chevy caprice with a 5.0l. I put the car up on a hoist, put her in drive and i can see major wheel wobble in the rear. I pulled the wheels off, left the drums on, put a couple of nuts on, put her in drive again, the wobble is still there. Next step, i pulled the drum off too and drove it, still wobbles. You could see both hubs wobbling. Has anybody seen this before? This is an old cab and i have fixed it up pretty good, but its always the vibratins and such that drive me nuts. I Stood both axles side by side and it looks like they are slightly bent, but try to find a flat spot in an autoshop, lol. Any suggestions? How common is this thing, and is it possible that if the old guy before me slid off into a ditch bent both axles? I know cab drivers aren't the best and literally don't give a shit about their cars, but i need some input. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks, ValIf you wanna go fast, go ahead, it's your expensive gas you are wasting
