So after lowering my car my passanger axle boot ripped and has been leakin for a lil while. Now sometime when i get on it and let go of gas it makes like a grinding sound. That is definitely the axle im feeling and not my transmission right?

My main question is if they make better axles for our cars that are good with the drop and doesnt stretch so much....

Thanks

Axles don't really grind when they are bad. When you lower a car, fit different offset wheels on it, blah blah blah it changes loads on the steering / suspension system.

It sounds like you're having a wheel bearing problem from improper wheel bearing load

Well ever since I lowered my car my passanger axle boot ripped and I leaked trandaxle fluid everywhere I never had that feel before and its only there when I don't give it gas when I give it gas its gone. I'm going to go ahead and change it anyways and see if it goes away, if it still make the sound I'm going after the wheel bearings....do they make better axles for our cars?

OP, not sure what the issue is, are you sure it's not your rotors or something?

BTW, if your boots tear, you're more than likely better off just replacing the axles, especially if you drove with them torn. I had to replace my passenger one as well, boot tore to pieces and had axle grease everywhere. I can only imagine how much dirt accumulated on the joints and shaft.
