the thing that pisses me off the most is that this rear axle was rebuilt 10k miles ago... but idk by who, as i bought it off someone...

The side axle should not come out even if the outer bearing fails, looks like something broke. Considering you are also planning an engine upgrade you should consider adding C-clip eliminators so this type thing doesn't happen again.
