I pulled the 8.25 out of my 98 parts Xj to rebuild, regear, lock, and clean up before swapping it into my 94. Supposedly had 258k on it and didn't really look all that bad on the ring gear wear pattern. The things that caught my eyes were:
The pinion was rather difficult to turn (Guessing the preload was way off from the PO messing with it?)
The axle shafts and slid in and made visible contact with the cross pin inside the carrier and left spots, not a flat spot that I could see with my naked eye, but a definite contact spot. The left side being a little worse.
What would cause the shaft to slide in and touch the cross pin like this?
