can sombody help me

ok so i was playing around in a buddy's field few weeks ago and car got up on 2 wheels, passenger side. after it landed back on all 4 the car would go in gear but would not move. so we pushed it into the garage i crawled under it to see if any thing looked broke or cracked or leaking. all i saw was that the clamp on the cv boot in the rear had come off and some grease had come out.

i came back the next day to work on it and come when i get under the car i can now see that the axle looks like it came out of the diff a little. so we get it almost all the way back in put every thing back together put a zip tie on the cv boot and start it up put it in reverse and backed it out of the garage put it in 1st goes nowhere put it back in reverse goes nowhere. so we push it back in the garage.

i come back a few weeks later and get under it and after finaly getting the axle out of the diff we see that it has broke right before the splines start and that is how the car sits now.

now i have 2 questions. first dose anybody have a passenger rear axle that i can buy? and second is that will having the axle broke in that spot cause the car not to move? the car goes into every gear fine. we even had it up on 4 jack stands, when we tried taping the axle back in, and i put it in every gear and all 4 wheels were spinning. please can somebody help?!

If you replace the broke axle, the car will be fine.

I would replace the whole axle, not just the boot.

from the way it sounds i dont think you should even work on it.
if you dont know that cv joints are one piece then you shouldnt be doiong the job
take it to a garage and let them over charge you.
who would put it back together with only
putting it ALMOST ALL THE WAY BACK IN. COME ON WHAT WERE YOU THINKING
