another quick question;

can a bent axle cause break pedal banging?

I know you think you have a bent axle but I don't think you've ever been in a truck that actually had a bent axle. It's hard to mistake it for anything else and it's actually easy to tell.

Have someone drive by you while you are standing on the side of the road and just watch the rear wheel in question. If you've bent the axle, you'll see the wheel wobbling from side to side as it rolls past you. The only place on the axle you're likely to bend it as it the end of the axle tube and even then it's a very difficult thing to do without breaking something else.

I highly doubt it's a bent axle...but the drive by test is a good way to sort that out.

well actually, I went to a mechanic while I was in vacation in another city, he told me my rear right axle is bent after checking it on a machine... but my local mechanic says it's not. so I'm confused as hell.

and btw, I know what you're talking about but it's being bent doesn't mean I should see it with my eyes... it maybe a very slight bent and noticable by shaking only when going fast.

I'm going crazy
