Why don't you just get an alignment done? No need to replace the axle. As far as I understand it a good alignment shop will bend the axle to restore proper alignment. I am planning to do this in...

I mounted ours in the front pass through. If I did it again I would get a remote switch as right now we have to lift the bed to turn it on and off. This is a bit difficult if your wife is asleep.
