Idk if this is the right sub but i still need help. My wheel is rubbing on the frame and I think i found the issue. If that is indeed the issue, where can find a replacement part? If you need any specifications to help me, do ask.

Just get a new wheel
That axle is as crooked as a politician. It’s probably cheaper to just have a bike shop transfer the freewheel over to a new wheel than to replace it and any other damaged parts inside.
The axle is bent beyond repair. But it can be replaced.
A company called “wheels MFG” makes replacement axles that you can purchase. This would require you to disasseble the current axle and swap spacers and cones to the new axle in the same order.
If you’ve been riding around for a while like this then likely your whole hub is toast due from damaging the bearing races.
If you _just_ did this and then immediately stopped riding, then it may be salvageable
Looks good
If you’re really lucky, all you have to replace is the bent axle.
Likely though, the cones are pitted or damaged.

Fucked axle. Replace asap
