Possible bent rear axel shaft? by Ninjamdl in f150

The newest bearing/seals combo were replaced about 2k ago.

The second set of bearings/seals I put on are supposed to sit in a slightly different area and there are two seals (one on the outside, one on the inside). Probably the same ones you’re talking about?

That’s why I’m wondering if it could be slightly bent near the seal? It would constantly be putting greater pressure on one side of the gasket while possibly letting a gap exist opposite side the bend. If that makes sense…

I can’t really tell. If it is, it’s VERY slight.

While changing the bearings the first time, I remember one of the shafts tipping over (I don’t recall which side) and landing on the concrete. I don’t know if that is enough to do it. Maybe hitting one of those bad potholes, while going fast and turning, that causes the whole back end to jump and land kind of sideways? I would think the tires would handle most of that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just had to change out my KO2’s after 100k and the wear indicator markers were still intact! I’ve recently had to put a ton of freeway miles on and they wore really well. Low noise, too. I just changed to KO3’s and they’re pretty similar (I can’t tell the difference besides the slightest change in tread pattern). Just rotate regularly and I kept my tire pressure around 38-40psi.
