Question on An Axle



That's what I get for going 'parts store' on U joints. I may have to get a new inner shaft, and my question is: does this axle shaft look ok?

4340 Chrome-Moly replacement inner axle, 16.17″, 35 spline

Yea I've already ordered two spl55-3x. I hope the original axle will be salvageable, but I'm not gettin my hopes up, the ears look like they took some damage.

It looks like you're missing the ears off the inner shaft
