How fast where you going when this happened? It takes a fair amount of force to bend and axle.....

Hard to tell but how big of a chunk is there in the tire?

I was backing out and wan't going fast at all. It was a little slice taken off the edge. I don't think its the axle and the tire has been balanced now..

Tubular uppers and lowers, coil springs/shocks.

Here's an old pic before the exhaust work and rear discs



I still have the factory driveshaft and ujoints.... maybe the bind put pressure and tweaked one of the joints or something?
