I have a 78/79 ford bronco axle with chevy outers in the front of a taco. I have had problems with the inner spindle bearings going out. The problem is that I can not put the snap ring on the end of the axle shaft, so it slides in and does not seal the inner bearing. I have heard about getting the chevy outer half shafts b/c they are longer and will allow the snap ring to be installed. The shafts in it now have the snap ring groove close to the end my spare shafts have it about 1/2" in from the end. Both out of a 79/79 bronco, whats up with that. Also I think that my drivers axle is sliding in to far and is not letting the axle seal ride on the axle shaft where it needs to so it keeps leaking. I know its alot of questions but just tring to get back on the trail. Thanks.
 
I'm running a 77 HP 44 and i'm running chevy knuckles, small bearing spindles, ford hub and rotor. For outer shafts i'm running chevy/FSJ because of that snap ring issue.
