Under warranty? Take it to the dealer.

If you broke the inner joint, it can be rebuilt. If you broke the outer, you'll have to find an axle shop. They may be able to repair it. That will be your cheapest option. Otherwise, you'll have to bite the bullet and order a new axle. For what you get, I would order a gorilla axle myself (instead of a stock one from the dealer).

You can do the work yourself depending on how handy you are. It's easy. Tire off, center nut, lower nut on the ball joint, separate and move the shock/hub assembly out of the way. Then grab the axle and pull straight out. It will slide out of the diff then.

Have fun.
