Default front axle! :(

so a while ago i went to change my ball joints but the one hole was wallowed out and the new ball joint wouldnt saty in so we measured the "c" and found out the previouse owner must have bent it somehow.. so i need a new axle where can i get one that will bolt it. i need something cheap, i work at a grocery store haha. its a 2000 xj. the junkyard around me wants 375 for the axle.....

Im about to get rid of my HP d30 (came of a 99) because it hits the front exhaust pipe where the front cats are. (Mine is a 2000 model) gonna have to replace it with the a factory LP. Ground clearance isnt an issue for me. Not doing any extreme off roading.
