Need New Front Axle....Dealer Says?

[yat74]

I banged up the rig at paragon pretty good last Sunday. Took it into the dealer for service. Oil change, tire rotation, alignment and a fix of the spring shakle mount and bolt that came out covered by warranty(temporarily fixed on trail). Everything was done and fixed except for the alignment. The dealer says that the right front axle is probably bent and is causing the truck to pull left. They are estimating $1500 for the axle obviously not covered in the warranty. On the report the alignment specialists notes that he has to "Get into the right front axle to check for damage." I'm driving it now but it pulls to the left a bit and I'm worried about tire wear. I'm trying to find a used front axle at a junkyard or something as I intend to continue wheeling. Any suggestions, please help .
I love my truck and I just want it to feel right right.
