Hi. I'm new. 98 Cobra Bent Axle.

[sbk93036]

Hi all. New here. I bought my 98 Cobra, Oxford white, new in 98. She's my baby. Went from garage to Daily driver unfortunately.
She needs some work.
Two years ago I hit black ice & spun into a curb. A friend's mechanic friend says I have a rear bent axle.
Now she needs some tlc, but was running fine.
So, I'm thinking of selling her as is to another enthusiast. I don't have the money or time, I don't think, lol.
I see estimates around 1500 to have it fixed on here.
Would there be a market for someone to buy her Fort parts or to build her up?
Thanks all!

Nothing special about that axle if it’s a solid axle car which I’m 99% sure it is. One from a 94-98 V6, GT or Cobra will work and those should be plentiful in salvage/recycle yards. Literally takes about 4 hours to swap it out. Would suggest you get gear oil specific RTV for the differential cover. Let that set up overnight before filling with gear oil and limited slip additive.
