2001 warrior rear axle

[Eric Forster]

A few days ago I wrecked my warrior doing 50+ mph. My injuries were minor. My warior now has a bent axle, grab bar, and headlight gaurd. I was looking at axles and niche has one for about $120 that I was going to plan on getting, but I was informed that they werent that good. What would be some options for a good axle for the warrior?

The niche ones are fine.

I have the niche adjustable width one I'm installing this week. For what it's worth even on its narrowest setting it'll add about an inch on each side

This is the only thing worrying me about the axle... the groove they put in the expanding nut doesn't totally cover the snap ring like it does on the other side. Anyone familiar with this, is it normal? I'm considering having a machine shop make the groove a little deeper for safety sake
