would you go to the junk yard for a rear beam?

option #1 new oem beam and right and left hub cost over 900 with install

option #2 used beam from maxima with 120k hubs included 150-200 plus 300 for install


better to go new on this or is used acceptable? my mechanic says a used one should be fine whats your take on this?

go used, check if the first ones bad, you spend another 300 to find another one, your still at $600, you still saved $300 over the $900 install

Oh shes twisted like my x girlfriend believe me. I can see the camber on the wheel and I payed 40 dollars at a frame shop for thier diagnosis. The beam is bent and the hub on the right side is bent as well from prior damage before I bought the car.
