Urgent! Axle shaft replacement help!!!
I have no idea which axle shafts to buy. I need to place the order ASAP b/c I have a long trip on wednesday on the hwy to do, my entire truck is shaking.
I need the whole kit, axle shafts, bearings, seals, etc...the works.
I was looking at this kit...

I only need the axle shaft itself, but I figured I need to replace the seals/bearings...or am I wrong?
How hard is this to do, my mech level is pretty high right now, and I have all the tools, etc, but how hard is it really to do? I have 2 days to do it.
How about this?

I'm completely clueless to this stuff, I need the one for my 8.8, all they ahve is mustang stuff, but I assume it is the same?
I figured I might as well go w/ superior's now instead of upgrading later...

I may try ford for a factory part. I don't think I need the seals/bearings now that I researched a bit. It looks like they are a PITA too...I think I may just lube up the shaft and hope I don't tear the seal.
I hope it even is the axle shaft that is bent, I hope it's nothing worse...I know it's not the drum b/c that drum is from my 7.5
