Hi , I need of some Help and advise please.
My Suzuki Jimny front axle is bent . 2017
Can It be repaired or must it be replaced?
Any for sale?

You can repair most anything but it will have to come off the car, if you're taking it off, it would be very quick to fit a replacement secondhand axle complete.
Cost wise is a guess for repair but you won't have any surprises with a good replacement unit and you can service it on a bench before you fit it.
James Priestley ( j999pre on the forum) should be able to help with supply, he might even build one with new bearings if you ask him nice......
It depends on how bent the axle is as to whether it is economical to repair. Even if it is repaired unless you brace it then it will fail again and even thereafter it'll always be a concern. How did you bend it?

Ah. Is the rest of the chassis and mount points straight, it's just if it has been hit hard enough to bend the axle there's a high chance of further damage.
