Front Axle issue? Dumb question.

Are you on dry pavement?

Yes. Can you look at the picture I just posted, I'm assuming thats what would probably cause the shake, what do you think?

bushing gone shouldn't make it bounce n skip around. More likely just clunk on/off the gas. Check ur gear ratios. Does it do it going in a straight line? If so then gears don't match, while turning it's something in the front diff.

Not just the bushing. I think the entire chunk of the housing has broke off along the top. It does fine in a strait line, but I do know that the rear gears were changed to 4.56. I hope they changed the fronts when they changed the rears but I am not 100% certain.

Ah missed that lol. Kinda hard to see in other pic. Need a diff for one. It might have a locker in the front, only one that is available for the bigger IFS diff.

If it rolls (idles) in a straight line without coming to a stop then the front probably matches.

More evidence of someone being in there is probably that missing chunk. Best guess is they dropped it trying to manhandle it back into place.

Previous owners can be really awesome sometimes.

The PO right after dropping the front diff: "Runs great, just recently serviced the front and rear diff! Regeared to 4.56 and runs like a top. $12k OBO. No lowballers I know what I got."

Dont use 4x4 on dry pavement or something will break.

This exactly. That bushing is likely making things worse, but chirping the tires and shaking are going to be normal if using 4wd on dry pavement.
