Default bent rear axel on my 1997 LT160

My kids have a LT F160 and i have noticed the left wheel tracking funny, turns out the axel is bent. I looked up a new OEM axel and its $321.00 I was wondering if anyone new of a good afternarket brand that is better and less likely to bend... I don't want to replace it with an OEM and have the kids bend it again at the track....

Thanks
Brian

try the lt230 axel and see if it is the same size it might be a littel longer but it might work you might have to change the bearing housing but it might be worth it and they can be found fairly cheep on ebay or even on this form sometimes

I took a bent axle to the local machine shop and had them straighten it for $30.00.
