Sami axle Straightening
I had a Sami come in the shop lately. Someone jumped it and bent the drivers side tube.

Using a cut off wheel I made two slices to make the bending easier. I used a straight dowel for my measurements. Using a jack and some ratchet straps I got the axle were I wanted with in +\- 1/8 inch. Tacked it up and rechecked. Note the tube was not cut off. There was 1-2" on the bottom holding it together.
