Default Hit a curb and the Axle came out

Hey everybody,

Wow, It has been some time since iv been on here but I need some help!

I hit a curb the other day and the 2 lower braces snapped which in turn made the wheel collapse and the axle get over-extended. I am able to fix everything myself, only I do not know how to get the axle connected with the differential again.

Can somebody give me a heads up on what to do, and how I might be able to go about doing it. I will post some pictures below. Also, does anybody know a good used parts store/junkyard where I can get those parts for my 1999 LS400? Thanks and ANY tips or thoughts would be SO GREATLY APPRECIATED! Best Regards,


-Jason

Sorry to hear about this. You might try asking in the maintenance section.

IMO, I'd drop the differential to inspect for other damage within. Brrrr....

Time to break out the differential schematic and study how that axle is held in place. Might just be a C-clip.
