I ended up passing on that axle as the guy wanted an arm and a leg for a less than confident "It should be fine but Id go through it" evaluation. I found parts to repair mine although the Posi axle still caught my interest. I was thinking of how differently I would need to drive a Posi front axle rig on the street or highway if it ever came to it.

I still like the thought of a selectable locker in the front. Not sure Id be ok with not being able to "one leg" the front in certain situations.

That's the route I would have gone anyway.
I would say swap the knuckle on yours because you know the axle, get a selectable locker if you want one. But, since you know what you did to the axle may make you want to ditch it...

Sooooo. what did you do to the knuckle? We gots ta know!
