I searched.

I replaced my radius arm bushings yesterday and discovered (or created) a broken passenger axle shaft. The outer axle free spins inside the inner axle.

I know how to get the outer axle shaft out, hopefully that is all that is wrong, but by chance that the inner shaft is also fubar'd, how does that come out?

I am assuming the splines sheared or something, it free spins inside the slip yoke.


Also, front driveshaft u-joints were shot, axle pivot bushing need replaced and the water pump is leaking. Fix one problem, find three more.. lol

Alright. Just wanted to give an update. I replaced the axle shaft from the slip yoke to the hub with one out of an 89. Just had to pop the u-joints and change the inner shaft to my original since it's what pops into the differential. In case you were wondering, 1980-1982 D44 TTB set ups do in fact bolt in, they DO NOT use C-clips...

Lucky. My 86 has C-clips and I couldn't remove it without removing and disassembling the front differential housing.
