Bent Rear Axle on 97 4Runner 4x4 auto

Bent the rear axle on my 97 4Runner 4x4 auto.

Housing or axle shaft?

Not uncommon for the axle shafts to bend since they are a semi-floating design which leaves the end of the axle shaft hanging out of the end of the single bearing at the end of the axle tube.

Junkyard for a replacement:

If you bent the rear axle, I'd really love to see a picture if you had one; that's something to go on your mantle!

Define "bent the axle"

Did you bend the Axle shaft? Or the axle housing?

Im coming down to East LA on the 18th, want me to bring you some parts?
