[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16522694, member: 70025"] He did not. I helped him put it in the oven. He used a metal rod stuck all the way through the housing. He told me ha has powder coated rear ends before. He never said anything about someone complaining of warpage. And I know him very well. So, if he felt there was a possibility of damage I believe he would have warned me or said powder coat at my own risk. I had the rear-end company utilize thicker axle tubing and cut them a little shorter than normal. My powder coater said he heated the oven up to 400 degrees. I did not notice any warpage. Also, my center section was flat to the housing surface and my spring perches sat flat on my leaf springs. Lastly, when I look through the axle it looks straight to me. I think it's okay geoffmt, but I appreciate you mentioning it. I hadn't even thought about that possibility. When looking at it from this angle (in this picture the housing was already powder coated): [ATTACH=full]1672087[/ATTACH] I didn't take a straight on picture here, but I did look through it and it looks straight to me. So, I think it is fine. [ATTACH=full]1672089[/ATTACH] Here you can see the spring perch mounted flat on the leaf spring and the other side was the same way. Even my brake line tabs didn't warp and they are very thin. [ATTACH=full]1672090[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
