Default Hey guys...where can I get these parts???

The car was rear ended, the driver's wheel was pushed forward several inches and the brackets which are welded to the axle were bent. Also...the long bar (name? It's pictured) which goes from the axle to the frame was bent. I'd like to know if anyone here knows where I can find these parts (used, ideally). Thanks!

That rear trailing arm can be found at most auto yards, the lower shock brackets can be straightened pretty easly and shouldn't need to be replaced.

Check out www.car-part.com

This site will search member salvage yards for the parts you choose and show the name of the yard, part price, quality and distance from the zip code you entered.

Thanks guys. Hey Disco Mike...I'm glad you say that those mounts can likely be straightened. So far, I've had two body shops tell me they must be replaced (based on pics only). As for the trailing arm, I called Land Rover today and, believe it or not, that part is only $75.00 new! Strange, huh? The only other problems I see are a kinked brake line (which I will fix by splicing) and a bent rear driver's side stabilizer link. What is the best way to "test" the axle to make sure it's OK. I did drive the truck home. The only problem was that the driver's side brakes got pretty hot due to the kink, of which I was unaware . Oh, and of course the truck goes down the road at a slight angle LOL.

The axle will be fine, they are pretty stout.
Just dont drive it anymore obviously until it is fixed or you will hurt the diff.

It could be an optical illusion but, when I stand behind the Disco and look at the rear tires/wheels, it seems as though they are at slightly different angles w/r/t each other. I guess it could be an optical illusion. I think I'll measure across from front to back tomorrow and see if the number's the same.
