    Bent axle tube?

    Got an alignment the other day and noticed the specs on the rear axle don't look right. If I have a bent axle or tube should I just get a junk yard rear end? Any thoughts on how to proceed would be appreciated.

    Leaf springs or 4 link?
    bushings wear out too. Accident?
    Grab a tape measure and find the cause. Put a straight edge on the axle.

    Just leaf springs, the bushings seem fine. No accidents I know of, had the truck almost 5 years. I dont think I have a thrust angle problem. The alignment sheet shows the right axle tube is .64 degrees from being straight and Im wondering if thats an issue?

    Just an update: The alignment shop left a cam loose on the upper control arm so they realigned it. The rear end specs were the exact same as last so I know its not a bent wheel or bent axle. I asked the alignment dude about it and he says that the specs show the rear end is toed in. .20 on the drivers side and .64 on passenger. So the axle shafts are bent forward a little, I still need to know if this is an issue? Thanks
