Is a 3/8" wall thickness still considered good or strong? Some other crate axles I see are 1/2" wall thickness.

@Ventures Truck Parts, I accidentally put a Dana 50 axle into a Dana 60 front diff. We'll, one side, anyway... The driver's side wouldn't go in far enough, which raised the alarm bells. That's when I notices the difference in axle size/splines. So, the passenger side has the 50 installed, and I beat the piss out of the driver's before stopping and putting the 60 back in.
My question is, what was I beating the axle shaft against inside the diff when trying to get the shaft to seal? Could I have done damage internally?? And how about the wrong shaft fitting into the passenger side??? Will it JUST not engage properly, or is damage already likely done???? Switching to the Dana 60 axle asap, btw...

Hi
Can you tell me if the Ult 60 knuckles are dimensionally the same as the 05 and up Super Duty Dana 60 knuckles? Would be an easy way to get high steer for those.
