So... The DS outer axle seal started leaking on the MJ. This is a non disconnect axle with an outer tube seal. It's this correct from the factory, or has it been retrofitted? Took it apart, inner axle was rusty and pitted, but no signs of water. I'm wondering if this wasn't an inner seal axle someone installed before I got the truck (u joint had been replaced recently). We sanded it down and put some tacky Lucas red grease on it to help with leakage, but to no avail... It's worse lol. So the big question, it's this the original axle setup or a retrofit? Also, does anyone know what inner axle I need to replace it, and is it worth it to upgrade to chromoly? Thanks in advance for the help!!

Hi I recently added fresh gear oil to my front diff, and now it started puking it out through the passenger side axle tube. Also I tried to test the 4x4 and it is not working, so I think either the diaphragm in the axle to lock the shaft is done, or my new to me axle has some more issues.. I hope not, but since I already need to take a peek inside for the oil leak I'm thinking of just manually have it locked and leave it like that, I thought of getting a stock shaft of a newer TJ/XJ, but I think that since the split shaft looks thicker than a stock TJ one, I'll just leave it there till I save some $$$ and buy me some RCVs What do you guys think? Also Another question I had is that since the split shaft stays inside the housing whenever you take out the outermost part of it, is there another easier to get to seal around the split shaft?, or do I actually have to take apart the carrier in order to change the differential seal? Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
