Guys, I bought & installed a new So Cal Traditional Axle a couple years ago after some DB backed into my A coupe. It is chrome plated & drilled, a beautiful piece. Now that I have around 4k on the tires, it is wearing them excessively. The positive camber is noticably off. Has anyone had any issues or suggestions besides bending it ? So Cal says they haven't heard anyone having problems, go figure. You help would be appreciated.
Before going any further you should check the numbers.... Caster, Camber, and Toe end. Then check the condition of all the wear parts...king pin bushings, tie rof ends, wheel bearings, etc..... You may find a contributing factor. You may also find that everything is as it should be wear-wise and the axle is bent. Either way, you'll be better prepared to either fix whatever problem(s) you find or deal effectively with the shop you got the axle from. If its a cast axle I'd recommend not trying to bend it.
