I did put her on axle stands and run the wheels up, I could not see anything obvious. Trouble is she hit the O/S wheel and then pushed the N/S into the kerb to make a good job of it. I have not even been able to get the insurance to get the assessor out to look yet
The Assessor is out tomorrow morning, I will see where we go from thereDave999 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 22 12:58 pm dial guage on a good solid stand against wheel rim or axle flange? might work need smooth floor and a heavy stand or steel plate to magnetic it onto
you could if you have a nice smooth level floor take out suspect shaft and let it roll round to where it wants to sit
if it repeately stops in the same place.... probably bent.
same can be done on V blocks used for pressed motor cycle (usually 2 stroke) crank alignment checking, ideally you would use 3
or in a lathe if you know a bloke with a bloody great big one knock out studs and clamp the flange end in the jaws around the wheel centre register and see if the shaft has run out at the bearing section and just before the spline
these guys have some big lathes
http://denebank.co.uk/ and close to both of us...
if its the axle case its a bit more akward
it should have a slight toe in....
wheel alignment kit would show up more than a slight toe in if it was bent in that fore and aft direction
trouble is it could also be bent up or down, but i would not expect that to mainfest itself in a particularly obvious way other than more distance betwen tyre and arch. which most of them have anyway.
there are places that will flex an axle case to correct it... it can be done as part of a mega extensive wheel alignment but i don't know what they use to do it.
