Might have crunched my front axle?

Would anybody here be able to tell me what this is that I have damaged on my car?

This damage is on the driver side of the vehicle.

Would you be able to tell me what it is and possibly a link to a replacement part? Thanks!

That is your "outer tie rod end" the thing it comes out of (with the boot) is your steering rack, make sure that whatever damaged the tie rod end didnt hurt the rack. (check for leakage) You will need an alignment after changing this part, otherwise pretty simple fix.

Ooops! actually, upon a second look, that is actually the inner tie rod end, "socket assembly" part # ev80975 moog, available within hours at your local O'Reilly auto parts for 45.99

Thanks! You're a life saver! That's SO much cheaper than a new axle!!!!!
