Did Jeep changing anything in the area of the front wheels from unplated steel to either aluminum or galvanized steel with the change from KJ to KK? I owned a KJ for years and changed out wheel bearings no problem with the stock axles. That Jeep lived in the exact same environment as this KK and had 50k more miles on it...
The KK uses a aluminum knuckle were as the KJ uses a cast steel knuckle,same manufacturer for the hubs and axles.
I do know all about the different steels and how corrosion effects,had to when I worked in a body shop not to mention being a 21 year ASE Master tech(IE cooling systems).
