Welcome.  In what way is it bent?  I've seen some which have a natural arch upward - but I don't know if the two versions used on the pods have this.  Its dark out so I can't go check mine.

Picked up our rpod 178 in Lansing MI during June this year and covered 3000 miles so far. No problems
until last week. Camping at the National Seashore of Assateague Island we got stuck in the sand and
had to do some manouvering to get going again. Once back home, I discovered that the rear axle
was bent. Never thought my F 150 Ford with 2 wheel drive could do such harm. Anybody has an idea
what the replacement cost could be and where to get a new one?
Thanks, JoeAngry
happy wanderer
