Can a bent axle be polished?

Can a bent axle be polished?
I ordered 4 grooved axles that were all to be straight. One of the axels came pre-bent to an unspecified degree. Is there a way to still polish it?
I ordered it from derby dad 4 hire.

not easily. you would have to straighten it and re-bend it.

My recommendation is use that as your non-dominant front wheel and polish the other three.

I may be mistaken but DD4H does not have an option for bent axel that is not polished from him.

There’s not an option for that because the order is cut the tuning groove, polish the axle, and then bend it. Polishing a bent axle can be done, but it’s more difficult, and you could possibly be over polishing in some areas and not polishing in others.

If you ordered all straight did you contact John that something was wrong with the order? Otherwise I'd listen to Mojo and use it for the raised wheel if you can.

This right here, often the easiest solution is the best!

Hmm, i’ll try to find my order history to see what the invoice says.
