I uploaded a picture and was wondering what a part is called that goes attached to the front differential on the passanger side.

Are you circling the axle tube or the solenoid for the 4x4

The easiest way would be to find a whole used front differential. Cant replace just that tube portion.

Did you buy it from an individual or a dealer? If from a dealer me thinks I would be having a heart to heart with that boy about getting this sorted on my new purchase.
Good luck getting her fixed,

That stinks! Going to be an expensive repair.
