Just got the axle back thanks to a quick turnaround by Barry at the Rear End Shop here in Livermore. :thumbup:
Figured while everything was apart I would wire wheel some of the surface rust on the knuckles and give them a fresh coat of paint.

Now you're gonna have to wash the entire Jeep.
That was really fast, you should be driving again soon!

Read this and thought someone stepped through the ceiling sheetrock. Sorry for the confusion. Now, back to the build.
Love those axles.

Oh yeah, how could I forget!? I will say, I did get pretty good a drywall repair through this whole process!

Axle is in!
Made a slight adjustment to the track bar to center the axle. Other than that, it was a direct swap! Using an angle finder on my phone, it looks like the pinion is at about 2.8°, leaving 7.2° on the caster. I plan on driving it tomorrow with the links and see how the driveline feels. I figure I may end up at 4°/6°, but probably worth driving it before tweaking anything.
New EVO sway bar links should be here tomorrow and that will wrap it up.
Huge thanks to Ken for coming over this afternoon and helping me button everything up! :thumbup:

Finally got to put some miles on it today and, WOW, what a difference a couple of degrees of caster makes!
Even without my Fox SS (out for warranty), the Jeep is rock solid at 80mph. No wandering, much tighter steering. Just an all around pleasure to drive!
Got a quick alignment yesterday and went with 6.1/6.5° of caster.
All cleaned up and ready for his next trip!
