He reckons the bearings will be fine because the force required to straighten it shouldnt be all that huge. He also reckons the bearings can be removed and reinstalled without damaging them, if thats neccessary.
People intentionally put straight axles in the press to bend them to gain camber all the time, its not great for compnent life but it works.www.DRIVENFX.com Performance Engine Building, Auto Electrical (Wiring Looms, ECU Installs, Diganoses and Repair), Custom Automotive Electronics, Car Preparation, Car Setup, Trackside Services,

Just picked the axle up. Its bent under the bearings so they didnt bother straightening it, just machined the face of the plate a bit. It should run straight now but Im a little worried about the studs not being concentric as the center of the outer end of the shaft may have moved.
I dont really have any way to test it other than fitting it and seeing how it goes.
Wheels are at the tyre place getting some new shoes. With a bit of luck we'll be pre-nats pimping the streets of canberra tonight.
