Hello, I own a 96 Dodge Ram 4x4 (dana 44 front end) with a 5.9lt,
recently with the heavy snowfall I broke the right front axle shaft
and I'm looking for a new one and possibly something aftermarket that
would be stronger. Does anyone know where I can get this part for a
reasonable price. The replacement part number from dodge is 4746728
and it's $517 from the dealer. Thanks

Might try link below for starters. Remember though that axle shafts
are kinda like fuses and it is better to break on of them than ring
and pinion. You must be running some big tires if you broke it. If you
seriously want to beef it up, money would be better spent on a
stronger front axle assembly.
