I am not fluent with the 3rd gens on the rear axle set up but have a suggestion.If it is damaged to a point of it not being fixable why not just to a junkyard and remove the rear axle beam and replace the bent items on yours.I know on my old 1st gen that is a pretty simple swap aside from the time and any other bent items and hoping the mounts for the axle are not tweaked where they need to be straightened.My thoughts.

You have to replace it. It's designed to crush.




On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.

All of them will fit your car. The only different rear axle im aware of is the one in z24 and ls sports where it has an extra bar welded in the canter of the axle to help with cornering. Get this one if you can.

Yep. The FE2 axle is the one with the welded bar.
