300 EX axle replacement

I have a slightly bent axle on my 300EX.IT is not to bad but annoys the heck out of me with the wheel wobbling a little.Ihad a little play in the axle but tightened it up.Can I run it without damaging anything or should I replace it?Looking to replace it with probably a durablue +2.Question is, can I use the stock bearing carrier and new stock bearings and seals with the aftermarket axle?I will probably under undertake doing the replacement myself.I have a full shop manual.Any info or tips would greatly be appreciated.Thanks

I would recommend having your stock axle straightend. I'm not sure who does this or how it is done.... but I've heard success stories on having it done, and the cost was alot cheaper than a replacement axle.

An aftermarket axle should fit nicely into your stock carrier, bearings, etc.

I haven't heard too many success stories on Durablue axles, I would recommend a RPM Dominator axle :cool:

I like my Lonestar axle. I would buy another one in a second.
