    Assuming you have a solid axle Rover first thing you need to work out is if the axle housing itself is bent or is it the stub axles. I had a bent housing and the axle was wearing on the inside of the stub axle. I could also see it was bent by using a torch as described here. Performance Unlimited 4-Wheel & Off Road Center - Hartford, Wisconsin - USA Technical Documents

    I had it straightened by Diff Lapping in Kedron. They machined plugs with a hole for the stub axles and diff bearings, they then straightened the housing until a solid rod would pass through all four without hitting. Mine only had a slight bend but enough to cause issues.

    I purchased a rear housing for my D2 from British off road, wasnt too bad price wise,

    Same thing but wore out a set of tyres in under 5k 9mm toe in on one side and 13mm on the other. Not sure on how I bent it though coz at that stage the car was a on road car
