Half shaft question

trstno1Member

It looks like the prior owner replaced the passenger side half shaft & u-joints with a spicer unit, but the driver side looks original. Also, the driver side is missing the grease cover.
1) Is it ok to run 2 different halfshafts? The newer one seems a bit beefier and possibly heavier. Seems like it might not be a good idea.
2) Can a grease plug be re-installed without removing the half shaft? Or otherwise plugged until I rebuild the entire rear suspension.

I plan on doing everything at once in a few months since it's all got to come out. Just want to safely drive the car a few miles here & there until then.

Thanks,
John
