Bent rear axle flange??

[TrailHunter]

Runout spec is like .002 or .003. If it's bent 1/32 (.03125), it's bad.

Good to know.. thanks Doug.

It sure sounds like a flange from that description. Sucks, have you upgraded the rear shafts yet?

Just to follow up.... New Axle shafts are in, and the brake squeak is gone... It was Definitely a bent Flange. Problem Solved. :beer:

Awesome, if it comes back, go and have your rotors turned. If you run on a bent flange for a bit, it wears them out of round. Learned that the hard way s was bad drove me crazy.
