Default Strange parts

I've been chasing a vibration in my car at about 72 mph for a while now. I've found one rear hub that was bent. Mickmate was kind enough to send me a replacement for it, but when I got it apart, this is what I found. Everyone should reconize the stock hub. Mine appears to be extended about 2 1/2inches.

Another thing I did was to check to front wheel bearings. Well, if you look at the half axles, you'll notice considerable difference from the stock axles. THe area that is shaded in red had to be machined away and the angle moved inboard to make the shaft fit.

If anyone has any information on who or why or what and maybe what else I might find, I would certainly appreciate a note.
