Here is a few snapshots from a 7.5" axle I have, upon inspection i found this. What do ya think? I'm almost certain it's going to self-distruct soon. But i'm just lookin for some other input.

yea the scrapes are definetily not a good sign, and the chipped gear well, where there's one chip there's gonna be more and there could be stress cracks too. I definetily wouldn't waste my time or money on a 7.5 rearend. they're not to great.
