Canter twisted rear axle

Recommended Posts

Hi I have a Mitsubishi canter 57 plate

The original fault was very loose steering and wearing out front tyres on the inside

The garage found a bent track rod

This was replaced and the truck sent to have wheel alignment set up

 

I have been told that the rear axle is twisted by 5 degrees

 

Has any one experience of a twisted axle on a canter

Is it repairable (unbolt axle and retighten or replace parts)

what causes it to twist

 

Thanks

lift back end a bit, loosen appropriate nuts an bolts and put back in place..

 

Did it on my hilux years back, I thought it was driving funny but couldn't put my finger on it, till someone mentioned my axle was outa kilta.. I can't be sure but I think I'd backed over an oversized kerb an it threw my axle out a bit..
