Yup, determine what ratio you have, then we can offer up some suggestions.  If its a 2.35 then you are either stuck with finding a replacement unit from another 2.35 Eagle or look into something to swap into both ends of the car.

Its a while since this topic was activ, have someone find a source of new axle shafts?
My came off too, i have the 2.35 trac lock and front a shift on the fly, i dont want to swap an other on both ends.
Maybe an amc 20 and fit it to the 27 spline? how thick is the 29 spline end on the amc 20?
if its thick enough to mill the 27 out of it?

I don't believe there is a source yet for new axle shafts.  You may be able to find a used shaft in good shape.  Good luck!
