I have the Ti freehub body still on my hub and still in daily use with over 55,000 miles. If it ever dies, I think I'd replace it with the steel ones just for cost reasons. Durability of the Ti body certainly hasn't been an issue.

Thisone should work. Shimano 105 FH-5700 Freehub Body (w/ Washer and Seal) (8-10 Speed) - Nashbar
Shimano made freehub body swapping pretty easy since the attach splines are the same on most of the freehubs. But if you put a shallow flange body on a deep recessed hub it will bolt up but chances are the inside (largest) cog will rub on the hub or spoke heads. You can go the other way around and the only issue will be the freehub body will extend farther out, but most people will just fit it into the dropouts and go on their merry way. If it fits it fits.
I've said this in the other thread, if you buy just the freehub body, that is not spec'd to your hub, there is an equally good chance the old DS cone and seal won't work. Well, if it fits through the dust seal, the wrong cone might work. I have no experience on how well mismatched freehub body cones/races hold up but I suspect there are a lot of them out there. I know a lot of Shimano cones have pretty similar dimensions.
Wheels mfg gives dimensional differences of their aftermarket cones.

I figured I'd ask in this thread instead of starting a new one since a lot of good info here.
I have a Dura Ace 7700 rear hub, 130mm spacing
I wish to space to 135mm. Is there a particular axle I need? Is this possible?
Thanks

Normally, the 5mm is added to the left side and redish, (or build with the 'new' dish), which will result in better left/right tension balance.
Shimano usually has an axle 11mm longer that the OLN, so 146mm for 135 spacing. Some people say you can just move the right side over to get equal spacing, about 2.5-3mm on each side and that is sufficient.

The noise is gone! Went around the neighborhood for a test ride and it was silent! I guess the bearings just needed some grease. Makes me worry the bearings inside the freehub body are in a similar state but for now it seems to be ok. The body still has a little play in it but everything is functioning and quiet.
Thank you all for the tips. I'll make this an annual thing. I bought the wheels used and I guess previous owners never serviced the hub.

I replaced the steel axle in my 7700 rear hub with an XTR titanium axle, FH-M950 is the part number I believe. It’s 146 mm long and was cut to length. Much lighter than the steel axle. There’s one on eBay right now for $129.

The XTR axle and the 7700 original did not have keyways. If whatever axle you do use has one, it won't make any difference.
