Re: Why had the axle saddles gone like this
Is it actually bent or has the axle just turned slightly?
I would guess the u bolts weren't tight enough and it's caused slight axle wrap.
Is that the front or back?

I would guess that the bolts weren't tightened enough or were over tightened and stretched a little.
