I recently noticied my rear axel leaking oil on to my concrete at my house .And i put my car on the hoist and removed the axel and noticied that the bearing worn a groove about 16th of an inch onto my axel shaft on the drivers side from lack of oil.I wanna know is there a offset/or a repair bearing that I can replace my axel bearing with so I can use my same axel so hat it will not put wear onto the same location as my factory bearing did.Thank you

put on a new axleshaft, arnt too expensive, that way your not messing with the weakened drive shaft, could have lost the temper due to the heat.
