Hello, thank you for writing in. If there is no damage to the passenger side of the vehicle, then do not worry about replacing that side’s axle. You can just replace the left side. Double check the rest of the suspension and steering on that side as well. There may be more that has sustained damaged or has been bent out of place or alignment. For more help with replacing the bent axle or inspecting for further damage, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
