Intrested in selling your old front diff 4x4 clutch? I have another idea I want to try besides deleting it but it requires a working diff clutch and mine is blown up and locked permanently. Oops!

Any problems fitting those aftermarket axles?

I have planned to. I had the idea of $250 on ebay. But I'll take $200 shipped.

Actually yes.
I had to grind down (bevel) the end because the spline channel was marred up going into the diff and would not go for one of them. Could of been me being too rough on the chinanezium also.

Man, I hate to see that. On a positive note you have a nice fill port for the front diff.

Stuff like this is a reminder to really look over the fine details of your suspension before heading out. I'm guilty as anyone, if I didn't mess with it, it should still be tight right? I've personally seen wheels come off, brake lines get cut, A-arms / ball joints like this all come unglued because the nuts spun off. Makes me cringe sometimes.

Glad you made it back, OK
Had a similar problem after installing SATV arms with the Keller ball joints. Thought I had everything adjusted and plenty tight and after a couple of rides noticed one of the lower ball joints was almost rubbing the wheel. Took it apart, readjusted everything and tightened everything again. No trouble since, but I always check before and during every ride now.
