Dutchman Motor sports
A few years ago I had an axle narrowed 3000 miles later I got to put new axle bearings in. Well to cut to the chase 10,000 miles later 3 sets of axle bearings and replace both axles. When I discussed it with them they agreed that something is misaligned but that it is impossible to be there fault. The car is a toy I am in my late 50's and the car is living the life of Riley. I didn't bend the rear axle. They then said they would give me a deal on a new axle shaft $90.00 but when we picked it up the bill was $167.00. Such a shame they are in my town and I can't use them again.

Sounds to me like it's a housing problem rather than an axle problem. I would bet that who ever narrowed the housing didn't get it tru wich is putting stress on the bearings from misalignment.
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
