You need a complete axle then, it is a single solid axle from end to end. Is yours bent or what? Depending on the bend, it might be possible to get it straightened.

My advice is to check with a local machine shop first. They can tell you if it is salvageable or not.

If needed I can possibly straighten it also. It all depends on how bad it's bent. I may also have a axle if needed.

But what ever you decide: DO NOT heat the axle to straighten it! This will weaken the axle. Been there done that on lawn mower gokart ( when I was a kid ). 20 minutes into riding and it bent and broke clean off.
