  Stan, take it back to the guy who dropped it and make him fix it or give you another one. If they messed up the holes who knows if the camber is correct. The other option is to purchase a new one from Magnum Suspension, Pete and Jakes, or Chassis Engineering. On new axles check to make sure they are made in the USA. Lots of Chinese axles out there. Another possibility is to have the axle sleeved to the correct diameter

  trjford8 s right about the bad axles. I think I would go to the archives at HAMB and read up on the bad ones. See: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/the-hokey-ass-message-board.5/
