    If the axle was anything like the one in that 06 tundra, it bent without causing anymore drive train damage. Of course the wheel itself was bent too. Had to buy a remanufactured one to match the other 3. I think the leafs absorbed a lot of the crash energy that limited the drive train damage as they and the u-clamps were snapped from the axle housing itself. Frame was fine.

    Thrust angle is a bit off I'd say...
