1999 Magnum 500, rear axle stripped out

Thought it was the driveline coupler but nope the splines on the shaft and sleeve inside the diff are stripped.

Other than the sleeve, shaft and seals is there anything else that needs to be replaced?

Thanks

Don't over look the o-rings for the case halves and front plate.If not they'll leak.

It's just that o-rings do flatten out over time and can leak on reuse. I had the same thing happen on stator backing plates then I started ordering the o-ring also.
