mikuni Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 ^ yeah the housing will bend fine but what about the axles and the additional stress induced on the spider gears and bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Heat the whole rear assembly and bend the shonofabitch. It's been done heaps but good luck with axles fuck you sound keen to die or somthing that destroys the grain in the metal and you end up with the axles housing crackeing and going walkies .. not recommened . - camber on 4wd is really , really hard to get man Exactly the whole point of the heat is it dosent destroy the grain of the metal....in fact it helps to keep it aligned in fact with heat correctly spplied there is not yield limit and you can bend a peace of steel unlimited times without compramise Yeah but like we all have mentioned it's not the housing that;s the issue anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vvega Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 ^ yeah the housing will bend fine but what about the axles and the additional stress induced on the spider gears and bearings couple of teh drifters did it for a bit and it seamed to last ok...lol you can build flex into a axel and over that distance without putting undue stress on everythign else im not here to argue .. spent years at uni to understand what i do.. lowlancer.... im not sure what your saying ....the axel can be made to bend within yield i agree its nto the ideal way ...but if you only after a degree or so then its quite tolerable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 What I'm saying is that, yes, you can mostlikely bend the housing no probs but it's the internal shitlike gearing and axles that won't last. Basically we're all agreeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
