-1999 4dr 4X4 Chevy Tracker-
My g/f rear ended another car at 10 MPH,the air bag didn't deploy, but it messed up the driveshaft going of the transfer case going towards the rear axle and had it towed cu it wouldn't drive. I'm a newbie, but if someone can look at the pic (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y138/toddinav/DRIVESHAFT.jpg) and give me there opinion, Thank you very much.

You're going to need a transfer case, a drive shaft, and probably should look into the rear axle as well. Since the engine moved that much, I'd be checking the engine and trans mounts, front axle, and steering, too.
It's amazing what can happen at 10 MPH. It makes those 8" bumpers from the '70s look pretty attractive. My wife opened up a Cadillac at the B-Pillar with her Astro at about 25 MPH, and the air bags didn't deploy either. You can't always judge by that.
