Just recently I ended up losing control of my car, swung sideways
and jumped a curb: causing my aluminum rim to bend, but left the tire inflated. I went ahead and ordered the exact same rim, mounted the rim and now the wheel(driver's side rear)wobbles.

What could be the problem?What am I to look for?damage-wise?
The tire and rim have been mounted,balanced,etc.
Just wobbles when in motion.DUECE

Buy new ones. It wouldn't be safe or practical to try and bend the axles back, they're like rock hard.

you should just replace the axle shaft with a new or good used one.

how much do the axel shafts run for? I only need one.
how hard is it to replace?DUECE

You could probably get one (or a trash rear end) from a junk yard for not too much. The ones you have should be 26 spline shafts so make sure to get the same ones. Just replacing the axle isnt too bad. The only kind of hard thing is getting the pinion shaft bolt out. On mine (and probably all the rest of them) that thing was tight. Took some banging with a mallot to break it loose.

EDIT: Its advisable to replace the axle bearings and seals as well while you have it apart, but its more work.

Make sure that the rim is true first. Also check where the wheel bolts againts the axle fange and make sure it is clean.
