      Rear Axle Swap Ideas?

      Hey forum peeps,

      So my rear axle is now bowing to the point that the unintentional camber is hitting my coil overs are has ruined my bearings again.. (this is the 3rd time). My alignment will not stay correct for more than a week or two.

      My two options - remove stereo equipment.... or replace the axle with a stronger one.

      Naturally I want to find a different axle. I am starting my research now but haven't had much luck. Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. A mechanic friend of mine wants to see if I can fit an 02-04 odyssey but I think it's to wide and would look funny.

      If I don't find a solution soon I may just weld some higher gauge angle iron to it to strengthen it. I have enough steel around to make some custom brackets if needed, just need something that can handle more weight.

      Any thoughts? - Thanks!

      I think I am just gonna weld it, Its going to be too much of a pain to line up any suspension with a different axle. After looking at it a bit more I can just cut out the spare tire well if needed and put a new piece of iron between the two plates that the tires bolt to... that should take care of it for now. Might need to reinforce it a bit...
