    I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere the axel tubes and axles are the same.

    Yep, thats what I have found. Unless it is a big bearing 9" then the tubes are larger.

    Hey thanks guys! That means that the 9" housing that I have with the bent axle can be swapped out for the axle currently in my car! 9" here I come!!!
