So I bent my back right axle well doing some donuts hit a big hole super fast but a lil bend in my axle nothing to bad but needs to be replaced. I took out the axle replaced bearings and seals well I was already doing it but now my new axles ABS gear thing dosnt leave the clearance I need to put it in all the way. It hits the bolts that attach the calipers and parking brake assembly to the axle. Also the old ABS gears are completely gone compared to the new axle. I don’t know exactly what it’s called but I attached pictures of it does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this?IMG_1359.jpeg

A reliable 4WD shop should be able to remove it, check it for cracks, & straighten out the housing; or know someone else who can. Minor bends can be straightened by bolting the housing to a jig, then carefully applying a torch to tweak it back to shape..... if it's worse than that, it's gonna be real money to fix.

If you open up the undamaged side you might try to compare how easily the bearing & axle come out on that side. That should tell you if the first side was bent. How far was it driven after impact? Did it steer or track differently? Any new noises? A good shop will be asking those kinds of questions.
