I would say to blast them and see the damage. Its hard to tell the true condition with all that crud on there.

Geez ... you blokes and your salty roads .. :bang:


Got easy access to cheap blasting ?? .. worth a try.


Other option is to degrease it all, then dunk it all in a home made electrolysis tank ... and then see if its worth getting blasted ??

[rabies]

i might try the electrolysis.
or buy a blasting cabinet.
the part s calls. axle shaft outer slinger $6.99 for 2

i ended up using a wire wheel on an angle grinder. was like sandblasting it wow but couldnt get into divets.
what a pain to replace the ujoints.
i cant find that part on autozones website. jeep calls it the axle outer slinger?.. its like an abs ring. i dont have abs. could i just go without it?
it looks like keep the wheel bearing clean from the axle side???

You can go without out it. Dont have them on my axles.

Get a big tub and soak them in vinegar for 24-48 hours. Rust will all be gone, even in all the nooks and crannies.
