Loss of drive

I recommend getting a set with timken bearings, same goes for the stub axle bearings which I believe also comes as a kit along with the rear oil seal, locking washer and gasket.

Something like DA2381G for the stub axle and DA3167 for the swivels

It's worth getting as many of the bolts and gaskets as you can as well. Just in case anything shears off, and anyway it's good practice to renew these. Large tube of gasket sealant (let's keep those leaks to a minimum) and a bottle of Loc-Tite. Changing the top and bottom swivel bearings really improved my handling so is well worth doing.

That isn't a half shaft as such, on the front axle the splined shaft is part of the cv joint and a bit more of a faff to get out. As mentioned elsewhere that does look bit grotty and would benefit from a good going over (and a cursory look at the others to see what condition they are in)
