Axle Wear Input
Looking to see if I can get some input. I pulled my axles on a gm 10 bolt 8.5 and noticed pretty distinct wear on the wheel axles. It was not a Posi and the wear is worse on the left axle (which makes sense to me). My question is how severe is this wear? Do I need new axles or just a axle saver bearing? My gut says repair them, but looking for some experienced opinions. I started the project to swap out my rear axle gears, but it seems like the more I tear the rear end down the more I find. Here are pics 1st two are Lh . axle wear measured: Lh: 1.386”, Rh: 1.394”

When you have pitting like that, you need to replace the axles. Moser makes great direct fit axles.

You may already have the rear end back together by now but just FYI. I just replaced the rear axles in my Jeep Cherokee using Richmond Gear Excel axle kits from Summit. I think it was about $150 for both kits which include axles, bearings, seals and studs.
