G'day everyone, hope we're all well,
I've got a slightly bent rear axle on the drivers side, and the rear brake rotor grinds on the caliper then comes loose and then grinds again when being driven. The dilemma I have now is how to solve it. I spoke to an axle mechanic who said they may be able to bend it back but he wasn't sure how long it would take or how much it would cost to fix so thats a last option resort.
Right now I'm looking for a new rear axle/ 2nd hand axle but need to know the diff ratio (I think I need to at least). The VIN number to the car is YV1244842E6054451, from very quick research I think the ratio is 3.31:1 but happy to be wrong.
Question is, is it worth trying to get a second hand axle from a wrecking Volvo considering how popular they are to put in Holdens and rare to find OR is there someone/somewhere that can make a genuine or aftermarket axle to the same effect.
Any advice would be appreciated (or if someone has a spare axle that fits the bill, I would be happy to take it off your hands!)
