I'll have to take some pictures. Before I owned this thing, it had been in a wreck. The wreck sheared the rivets that held the front and rear shackle mounts on the drivers side, causing the axle to go backwards. There is a pretty good sized dent where the pumpkin got into the gas tank. Anyway, the reason why I am pretty sure that the axle is bent is because I have drive it maybe 1,000 miles, and it has worn 2 rear tires down to slicks. The passenger side outer tire did this, and the drivers side inner tire. I am not 100% sure that the axle is bent, but I don't know what else would do that much tire damage in that short amount of time.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help
