What I thought was going to be a relativity simple but heavy job turned into a bit more. Pulled the drivers side part to replace the axle seal, it was really leaking. Got it all apart and found the spindle end of the axle all chewed up. There is no sign of the bushing that's suppose to support the axle in the spindle. I think the spindle will be ok but I'm going to need a axle or at least the spindle end of the axle. Any recommendations of where to find the parts? Pulled the other side apart and everything looked good. Replaced the axle seal repacked the bearings and replaced the hub seal. Here's a few pics.

I've had things like that spray welded and machined back. Those sorts of operations are usually only in metropolitan areas as they pretty specialized. Good luck.
