Bent axle, repair or sell?

[Asa Grey]

Hi there,
I am the proud owner of a 1987 New Yorker. About a month ago, the car was hit while parked. The impact seemed to have pushed the back right wheel against the curb and the force bent the axle. It also shifted the whole rear axle off-center. I was wondering if anybody knew how repairable this was, and how much it would approximately cost. I don't want to have to take the car to a dismantler but I am a student and I don't have a lot of money to put into the car. Below I included some pictures of the damage.

Any info you could give me would be helpful. Thanks.

Hello Cait,

That is a very nice car, and we have a local club leader, my good friend Joe of Alameda, California that can help you. I come up North a few times a year, so maybe we could meet at an event
or a roadtrip idea. Did you get my email?

You know, looking at the pictures, if the frame is okay, you might be able to just replace the two axles, and eventually get that dent taken care of, and still keep the car.

the only bent item i see in the undercarriage shot is the track bar. that would throw off the rear axle placement. just need to undue a few bolts to swap the bar (upper link may be bent too). looks like the flimsy parts acted as the crumple zone and you might have gotten off easy.
