Axle/Gears: ones with teeth
what type of car?
most are just a bunch of bolts and clips then some tweeking to realign. OEM parts align easier than after market. sometime you have to bend them to get the proper ark but not a bad project to do in an few hours. one tip get all new clips and bolts makes the job easier going back together.

ps. go to user cp and fill out your profile makes it easier to figure what car you have and such when you ask a short question.

I changed my passenger side front fender not to long ago due to a minor accident and i found it's a lot easier if you have a lift so you can work from within the wheel well. It took me nearly 2 hours to complete and I had never done it before.
