Pre-axle swap question...

How nessecary is it to straighten the axle tubes?
There is a slight curvature in the tubes. I was checkin out an 05 Gt axle on a car and it looked like it kinda had a slight curve to it... What do you guys think?

Your putting in an 05 GT solid rear??

I'm not sure that is a bolt on.. But I know that the 99-04 solids will bolt right onto the 03-04 Cobras using most of the stock peices. And my solid axle had no curve to it at all.

It is out of an 04 Gt. I was just saying that I had looked at an 05 Gt that was getting an oil change, and I happened to poke my head under it to check out the rear.

The curve isnt really noticable, and you cant even hardly see it. But if you look at it length wise, you can see the tubes are not 100% straight...
