I confirmed that the 4 stub axles I have are straight, as there was a concern that at least one of the ute axles may have been bent from a vintage accident.
Not having a lathe to mount the axles by the centers, I made up a wooden cradle with center pins and used a couple of screws to check the bearing surfaces.
The results for the four axles was either no contact, or an even faint mark all the way around on the white coating I applied to the surface.
There was not partial contact to indicate a bent stub axle.
Good result, on with the next job.
