It's just weird to me, coming from FWD cars I've never seen an axle get
worn out in even that amount of time unless a boot was torn. The axles
can be removed without disturbing anything that would affect the
alignment, correct?

I'll just change out the steering stuff and re-seal the rear diff with additive this time and get the new wheels/tires on there and trace the noise from there. I'm about ready to give up and take it to the local 4wd shop and tell them to diagnose the goddamn thing.
