    Hey there Everyone! I bought a 2013 Tacoma TRD Pro, baja edition, a few years ago from a company that rebuilds vehicles that have been deemed totaled. I took it to a dealership to get it looked over before the purchase, but didn't think to have the alignment checked. Turns out after a year of owning the vehicle and going through a set of tires that the rear axle housing is bent out of line.

    All I really need is the housing and have found that a used axle runs around $600. Rather than buying a used axle, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to if it is worth taking the money and spending it on a upgraded housing unit. I found the following:

    Does anyone have any experience with this aftermarket dealer? Or any other suggested aftermarket dealers that I am unaware of? I am looking to keep the material cost below a grand.

    Any comments are appreciated!
