are you sure you bent the axle? you ciould have bent the rim.

any auto-parts store should be able to order one. any good junkyard should have some in stock as well.

Must have been a good drift! A spring shop or a fabrication shop might be able to help you get it straightened out. Make sure and replace the bearing and seal while it's out, it's really easy to remove an axle shaft.

Replace the axel. they never go straight again once bent that...and buy a rice burner for drifting.
It's tough to keep the load in the bed when you are going sideways.

You should be able to find a good straight one from a salvage yard.
