It's probably only a bent stub axle. A replacement trailing arm would probably see you right, but you'll struggle to find one on its own except new from Peugeot (which would cost a lot!), as most people tend to sell the rear beam whole.

Your best bet would be to look for a replacement rear beam but be careful for ones with perished seals and/or worn bearings.

Look at the rebuild and refurbish FAQ's, this will give you an idea, and if you need parts contact miles on here he can supply OE parts much cheaper than PugWink
