[CrazyLarry]

no others. I understand where you are coming from with all of your answers.

what would suggest for new fronts? dont need any yet but may start looking around for new ones. rcv is out of my price range as well.

Well it turns out that when I swapped the PR44 from the D30 that the new inner axle shafts are made for full circle clips...YAY!
However, I reused the OEM outer stub shafts and they were incompatible with full circle clips. So, it looks like I'm getting 2 new outer shafts.

Thanks for your help and the discussion. I learned a bit!

Here's a couple of articles that helped me understand better as well.
