not only was the axle shaft broken, but one of the u joint caps had a yyuge crack in it. So u joint rebuild kit for that side was ordered. All the parts came in, so i got everything installed. This one is ready to go back in
The zerk fittings on the passenger side axle were pretty shot, but the caps, clips, and cross were all in great shape. I reached out to Yukon this evening about the fittings, hoping to hear from them tomorrow. Should be able to get the new carrier bearings pressed on tomorrow, then thrash this weekend to get the ball joints, hub assembly, and pinion seal replaced, and the axle tubes cleaned out. After that, it's ready to go back together and set the backlash.
