Correct front axle shaft?
I went to the junkyard and pulled a front drivers side axle shaft out of an 89 XJ for my 93. I feel like it looks a little different, can anyone confirm? I noticed the shaft necks down near where the factory outer dust shield goes. Does it all look normal?

Yeah I have the smaller u-joints already. 1-1/16" Dia
But the shaft looked small in diameter, or perhaps its just the surface rust that is throwing me off.

If the shaft is actually a different diameter, (and I don't know enough about D30's to say if that is a possibility) you might need to be concerned about the seals. If the shaft is smaller it won't seal right or at all.
