Actually its the tie rod that is bent not the CV shaft (Axle). CV is what transfers power to the wheels from your motor. Tie rods is what turns your wheels from left to right via the power steering system. Take a secound look at the pics and youll see what im talking about. But yea nothing wrong with the CV shaft aka Axle.

 

^Agreed. Bent tie-rod and broken A-arm. The axle was not even in any of the pics, you barely see the axle boot on the top left corner in the two pics of the tie-rod. About the rack and pinion, I don't think that is anything to worry of, replace everything else, get an alignment, and you should be good to go, but that A-arm took a bad hit.

 

Looks like a bent inner tie rod, and a broken ball joint.

Ball Joint for cheap...

Your control arm is defiantly not bent, and your outer tie rod joint still looks good.

 

i appreciate it guys, yea i just bought the control arm as it was cracked pretty bad and i also needed a new stabilizer link because it was a little bent. The inner tie rod i found was much cheaper but idk if the brand CTR is reliable, can someone let me know if they are?
