yes,u can just buy the outers,remove the u joints from shafts and install new u joints if u buy the new outers.if u go w/ 35 spline outers u will need to buy new front lockouts.if u have axle all apart i would take the time and money and replace all seals and bearings.try 4wheeldrivefactory.com,they have a complete front 60 rebuild kit.every bearing,race,seal,u joints,king pin ect....

No such thing as "reverse rotation" high pinion or low pinion, both turn the same way. The high pinion has a reverse cut ring & pinion.

I wouldn't put one in anything they are junk, period. A Powr-Loc is the only way to go unless You want to try a Detroit which can be a little hard on things. The Powr-Loc has great manners and will last a good long time. I have them in my front and rear, turns fine. I have never felt anything in the steering & it turns both of them all the time far as I can tell.

The Power-Loc is similar to the Trac-Loc, but is a more heavy-duty unit. Like the Trac-Loc, it is a clutch-type limited slip. It uses floating cross shafts that ride on a ramp in the differential case. When power is applied, the shafts ride up the ramp and load the clutches for a more positive engagement. While it doesn't lock up 100 percent, it is a very aggressive and durable limited slip. Power-Loc units feature a two-piece case and four side gears. This unit can be rebuilt, and by stacking the clutches differently, you can vary the slip percentage to make it more effective on the trail or less harsh on the street
