Default Bent axle?
My jeep was hit from the side and it hit the front tire. Now the tire is leaning in. Is there an easy way to fix this or just swap in a used axle?

My spare axle has been sitting for 5 years or so. I'm obviously replacing all seals and gear lube. But the ball joints were replaced before it became a parts vehicle. I noticed at least one of the boots were ripped. Should I replace all the ball joints? What you guys think?

That or at least replace the torn boots if the joints feel good.
