Swap axle or repair unit bearing

my 95XJ 4x4 has a bad driver unit bearing and i assume steering knuckle. Unit bearing wobbles inside the knuckle. I have a 96 donor XJ. what would be easier, swapping out the knuckle/bearing or just swapping out the whole front axle?

along the same line would decoding the VIN tell me what gears are in the diff? or should i just count and hope i get it correct?

thanks all ( thats it for now)

The VIN won't tell you anything about the gear ratio. Tags on the axles, if they are still there will though. You can also pull the diff covers and look for the tooth counts which are stamped on the outer edge of the ring gear.
