Where to get 8.8 axle straightened?

[mrmustangman357]

Hi, I have an 8.8 that has a bent housing and am looking for a person or shop to straighten the bar housing. Unfortunately, I don't have a jig to set it myself. I am located in Rockford, IL. Does anyone have anywhere in the Northern IL area that can straighten an 8.8 housing at a fair price?


Thanks in advance, Brian

Between what a straight used one will cost you and the trouble you will go through trying to straighten the bent one its not even worth it.

I just went through this. Suburban Driveline quoted me approximately $700-800 to retube the housing and reset the gears.

They can't just "straighten" the tube. They have to pull it, put a new one in, and put new shaft seals in. Oh and before that they have to disassemble it obviously and then reset the gears once its done.


All said and done, be easier and cheaper to find a new axle.

I found a completely rebuilt axle with 4.10's in it for $350. So they're out there, just gotta look.

+1. About 80 miles from Rockford, but definitely the guy that can do it.
