Bent axle? Vid inside

[OIF1VET]

OK, put a 9" in my car. Prior to installation I found the passenger side end housing was wallowed out. Should of measured 3.150, it was at 3.175. Had end housing replaced but never had axles checked
I had these same rims on my ten bolt with no vibrations at all, so I am ruling out bent rim. I followed my wife yesterday to see how the rear looked as far as centering and noticed immediately the passenger tire was wobbling bad. My guess is the axle is bent which is what caused the end housing to be enlarged. Thoughts?

I'll be pulling the axle soon and have it checked.. I've had the balance checked on the tires 3 times this last week, if it was the rim, I am sure they would of noticed it during balancing.
Vid shows drivers side first, then passenger side..

You should of seen it at 35 mph when I was following my wife!

Yikes, you werent kidding. My only other thought would be that the wheel got torqued down wrong so it wasnt fully seated on the axle. But you said you've had the balance checked on it multiple times, which means the wheel came off and got put back on. Rules that out.

I would say your correct in assuming its a bent axle. That sucks man! Have you contacted the guy that sold you that thing?

I texted him yesterday, he has not responded and I doubt he will.

have you swapped rim to other side. Just to test it.

No I haven't. Maybe this week before I pull axle. Just not believing it's the rim based on what I know about rear and the fact that I ran these rims on my ten bolt with no issues.

With what we know about that rearend - I'd agree that the wheel is fine.

I'd bet you could see the run out with the rim and rotor off.....
