New Axle?
Ok so here is my 98 XJ 5-speed i just picked up for $200 and the problem is that the po tried to drift with it last winter and pegged a curb...ripped out the sway bar link mount on the passenger side and the sway bar link on the driver side got ripped off and the mount was torn/bent so badly that the entire load of the front left side is on the coil/shock, the passenger side uca was also ripped off but welded back on and is still somewhat attatched to the axle mount. My question is what should i do? Im thinking that i should go get a front axle out of another cherokee for like $90 and order a new suspension set up for the front end since the mounts are so gone on this axle i dont think they can be saved but i wanted your guys opnion, so tell me what you think.
Heres some pics:

I'd say you're on the right track, if I were in your shoes I'd just buy new parts and throw that busted stuff out...
