It's been hit on drivers side. If you look from one side to the other it's got a bow in it but I didn't no if they are supposed to be like that are totally straight

Should be straight, that's for sure! Does it scrub the tyres? Lay something that you know is straight up against the wheels and measure from that to the axle and you should be able to get a good idea from that.

F**king hell! I just looked at the picture, I'd say that's pretty bent! :O Have you driven it like that? Did you feel it pulling to one side or skipping or anything?

Thought landy axle's were cast so why would they bend would have thought it would crack or snap rather than bend
