What part is that?
#4
I got my axle out right now and a new one sitting in a box, so I'll go look.
But check your tranny fluid, because if that seal/ring(whatever) is coming from the tranny, it might have leaked out your fluid. If it's coming from the other direction, it might be something you can just push/hammer back into place against the passenger side axle guide.

I don't think it's supposed to be there. It's floating on the shaft, not fixed. I might be wrong about which side it's from. The side of ring facing transmission is smooth and the other side is pretty rough as if it's exposed all along. So it might be from the transmission side, something over the rubber where the shaft goes in.

What would be symptoms of a failing axle? The one I replaced a year ago was due to a cracked boot, any other failing factors and symptoms?

It is the dust cover that is supposed to keep crud away from the axle seal. They are just pressed on the axle and can come loose easily. You have to swap them over usually when you buy a new passenger side axle because they are not included. You just have to push it back into position with your hand or in this case, you need to pull it off the old axle and put it in position on the new one.

I pushed it back to the axle, but it's quite loose and I don't know how long it had been out. I've been having bit of grinding feel through the gas pedal lately when drive the car, but no noise. I am wondering if that's a possible symptom of a failing axle.

I didn't notice the arrow in the little pictures that were posted. If the arrow is pointing to the part you are talking about that is loose, that is NOT the part I was talking about. The part I was talking about is visible in some of the pictures on the left hand side of the axle shaft. Since there have been so many pictures posted of totally different parts I'm not sure which part it is you are referring to now.
