Looking for any Info on axle shaft repair.. I have a couple of bent shafts that I would like to either fix or find aftermarket replacement. I have begun the search for aftermarket but so far no luck on these late model Tacomas. 05+ if the truck never saw the street it wouldn't be that big if a deal. Unfortunately, it does.

Generally not a good idea to attempt to straighten an axleshaft. The hardness of the material does not make them a good candidate, plus the expense just to get it true would probably exceed the cost of a new one.
If you have bent multiple shafts on the same side I would also take a close look at the axlehousing itself.
