Bad rear bearing

[The dude]

While getting new tires put on the tech showed me some play in axle shaft on drivers rear. Thinking the bearing is done but now fluid leaking out?‍ Have an appointment with dealer but would like to upgrade the shafts as well. Anyone know where I should be looking for loaded axle shaft replacements?? TIA

No fluid leaking.

I think as of now this is a dealer only part.

Awesome. Thank you

you can search for chromoly jeep jt axle shafts.

I would check with say northridge 4x4 if these axle shafts work for your rig.

Question - was the play "up and down" or "in and out" as in end play?

Up and down.

Up and down.

OK, that's not good as you already know.
End play is a different matter.
But up/down not good and if very much is a reason for a leak - odd that it's not leaking if there's much play which sort of makes me laugh to myself as here you are with bearing play like that and no leak while other people have no such play - and have a leak at the right axle.

Right and I kept checking periodically for fluid leak
