You AMC 20 uses a once piece axle. Ignore all the little Jeep owners who tell you that YOUR AMC 20 is a piece of junk. It's not. It has none of the failings of the little Jeep version.

This would be a lot easier to read with some punctuation...

As indicated above, CJs were sent with 2-piece axles. Yours has 1-piece (stronger). I am not certain of the other CJ issues compared to yours... These were thin axle tubes that could bend and possibly "twist" in the housing. Many CJs combat this by stitch welding the tubes to the housing and adding a truss.

On a side note, many consider the '20 to be considerably stronger than a Dana 44 (once the above issues are addressed).
