Axle

I just found out that my right axle is slightly bent, where can I buy a new one? A junk yard? I don't have the slightest clue as to where to buy a stock replacement axle.

Thanks

You should have 26-spline shafts, unless someone swapped the rear in the car. The spline count is important, as is the rear brake type (drum or disc). You will need this info when getting a replacement.

You'll also need to know whether it's a 9-bolt or a 10-bolt. It's probably a 9, which won't make it any easier to find one. But at least you won't have to worry about the spline count because those ar eall the same.
