Installed a new set of moser axles. Drove it for the first time and felt like i have flat tire at right rear... Didnt have this problem until I install axles.

Put a floor jack under the pumpkin, jack it up until the rear wheels are off the ground..then fire it up, stick it in gear and just let it idle....watch each axle turning...if you have a bent one, you will see it...

I agree but also use stands under the axle to stabilize the car while running. Don't run without someone behind the wheel for safety sake.

What bearings on the old axles , what type on the new ? Did you have trouble getting the axle in and properly seat the bearing in the housing ?
