Problem occurs in "LOCKED" hub, in or out of 4WD. Have incurred axle scoring across splines approx. .14" behind "C" clip relief channel. Axle is essentially unsupported correct [albeit held by hub]? Is this just a "fact-o-life" @ 450K+? Any known part fix {i.e. custom axle sleeve, special shim combinations, etc,etc.}? Hope somebody's got a solution 'cause I'm stuck.:dunno:
 
There is a bearing in the spindle that supports the axle. Alot of people don't know about it and so it doesn't get changed. As far as the scoring I have no idea, perhaps another member can help.
 
×2 to the above.

Got a pic of said scoring?
