Found it here, if that helps.

 

Bushing goes in first, then the seal. Don't know if the seal actually rides on the axle, or the inner CV joint though.....

 

The shaft comes thru the seal then the cv joint slides over the shaft, outside the axle housing.

 

So is the bushing for the axle, or the cv joint?

 

It goes on the intermediate axle, not the cv joint.

 

 

I would be curious what happened to the original bushing, and where it went......

 

It looks to me like you would first install the O-Ring (#9), then the bearing (#7) then the snap ring (#8). The axle shaft seal (#6) will go on last. You may need to use the spare bearing, or something similar size, to push the shaft seal on evenly.
Interesting question about how you got to this point, perhaps the snap ring broke and the other parts worked their way out.

 

So when I bought this truck, I was changing the gear oil in the front and rear. In the rear end I found bits of metal that turned out to be the lockers that had failed, fixed that.
then moved to the front, I was told that it needed a new cv joint when I bought it. Well I bought a cv joint and changed it. I then drained the differential which didn't have much gear oil in it. After adding the correct type and amount of gear oil I drive to work the next day.
when I came out after work there was a oil spot on the ground so I looked under the truck and see that the seal is bad. So I bought a seal and changed it. Drove it a couple days and again there was oil on the ground. So I took the cv joint back off and decided to look deeper into the problem. I took the half shaft, intermediate shaft or stub shaft out, which ever one you want to call it. And bought a bushing from dodge along with another seal. Dodge told me that the bushing had to go on the shaft, down where it comes out of the pumpkin.
That is what I did. But I'm not sure how the bushing stays in place or where it ends up. As you can see the shaft is riding on the bottom of the housing. When I took the shaft out I didn't see a bushing. So I bought 2 more bushings and was going to try and put one on each end and sandwich each bushing between 2 O rings. I've looked at you tube videos and I can't find any that deal with putting a bushing on the shaft.

 

As you can see from the picture, the long shaft is the passenger side. You can see the groves on the ends of the shaft where the snap rings go. The groove close to the end goes in the housing 1st with the snap ring already on it. It locks into place in the differential. The Grove further back on the splines is where the cv joint locks on.
At least that's how it was when I removed it.
