Having been around redneck 4 X 4's all my life I've seen more than one that appeared to be "tweaked" a bit like George's and just kept slinging mud. There would have to be quite a bit of misalignment to damage to quickly damage the differential gears as there's some play in the splines and the spider and side gears are not a real close fit. Especially in a slow-moving machine used around the yard.
If all that is wrong is the spider and side gears and those are replaced I'll bet the repair will outlast George and many of the rest of us on here.
Wish I had a photo at hand of the front differential cover from my 1974 F150 that I welded up twice after breaking the spider gears being a teenager and having chunks get shoved through the steel cover! The axle is "curved" a bit like George.s and I drove it for THOUSANDS of a bit more gentle miles after the last "crunch" episode.
The axle in that old Ford is also a DANA 44.
Sure, if money, time, travel and lockdowns are not an issue there are 4X4 specialty shops that could build a new axle from scratch, which would probably be the ultimate fix, but again, if the ring and pinion are not damaged or the cross pin ripped loose in the carrier it will go a LLLOOONNGGG way with just a new differential kit.

The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
