Re: 22 Series Rear Axle Advice Needed

In my experience with similar failures I would expect to see a ruined taper surface plus a keyway and key damage. You should check the axle taper and keyway before putting it back together.
I just got finished with a total rear end rebuild on my 1950 23rd series. Among other problems one axle was slightly bent causing a wobble in the brake drum. That would be another item to check.
