Yup, forget that shaft. As HeyYou stated about the wheel(s) passing you, also you could kill someone in the process.

Check the junkyards, and see what you can come up with. If you can get the whole shaft from the yard, with a good joint in it, just swap out the whole thing. If not, just get the stub, and a joint, and call it a day.

I find axles for anywhere from 50 bucks for just a used outer (with tone ring for 4WAL....) to around 300 for the whole axle new...... Cheapest were on Ebay, some of the used stuff I found on car-part.com was just stupidly expensive..... (350 bucks for JUST the outer axle stub?? USED?????? Seriously?????)

Keep in mind, that at some point, dana decided that thumping the threads some where the nut would normally sit when properly torqued would help prevent it from backing out..... Strange, considering there is also a cotter key, which they STILL want you to use.....
