BENT FRONT DIFF FJ62

Hello All,

Does anyone know how to or who can straighten a knuckle/diff on a FJ 62 in the Auckland area. It hit a pine tree and rolled on its first outing and since then one wheel has developed alot of camber. We cant even tell what is bent. It still drives fine but we dont want it to break at speed.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking of straightening my front axle too. Nothing jumped out at me in regards to getting it straightened so will get another front axle, strengthen it and then install my bits into it.

Cheers

Um either the stub axle has bent up (most likely as its hollow) , bent the kinpin or the where the king pin mounts to the axle.
The easiest and cheapest would be as you say, replace the axle
