Straightening a 10 stud axle

[Niall310]

I've an ADR 10 stud axle (square beam) that has a small bend in a single spot.

Is it worth trying to straighten or a waste of time? Anyone done it before with any success?

Also, any suppliers of 2nd hand ir new ADR axle parts?

Thanks in advance

on the bodges thread they'd cut it and reweld it to a couple of straight pieces of channel.

Check the prices..... http://www.adraxles.com/the-group/adr-uk-tyremart

then get the grinder out?

Its bent right beside the spring but that could still be an option if I could fit the channel without modifying the U bolts.

Is there anyway of searching in that thread to find it or do you happen to know who posted it?

Smack it with an excavator

I'm with dave and bkg, pull it out and get someone to press it back, it's not too hard of steel.

Old ram rod is handier, my scrap man keeps a stock of it.
Don't know what an axle is made out of tbh but it can't be too hard, en8 maybe??
