The car has been running great.. so somethign had to give...

It is the driver side CV joint. I got to work and there was oil all on the inside of my rim and on the axle.



Oh well I guess @ 130,000 miles it happens

I guess I will pick some at the local auto parts store and see if jay25 will let me use his house once again

 

Man, and we talked right before you got to work.....

I need to get an Oil line braided with the fittings on the end as well.

 

You mean grease on the rim? It sucks because its super hard to get off

 

Na the shafts are fairly easy to get out, should take about 45mins.

Dixit

 

Might as well do both sides while you're at it. The outer cv joint boot on both of my driveaxles went out within a month of each other.

 

yeah stephen I am doing both... no reason to 1/2 a$$ anything else on my car

and yeah dixit.. it was odd, but jaime says it's not to hard so I am debating wether to do it friday or sunday.. looks like sunday.. after the big meet

 

Ah, you can still drive around on it lol. I drove around on two bad CV axles for about a month. They both blew out within a few days time from each other. I had to drive that long on those axles because I had NO money to get the new/re-man. axles. But, I sent you a PM Bags....

 

Yeah I have a hole in one of my boots, thanks to eric pointing it out.. no wonder it was getting hard to keep the wheel all polished and clean, time to call autozone about my lifetime on the axle.

 

I think he meant getting grease off of the rim, not axle off of the car

 

When those cv points rip replace them as soon as possiable. The greae dries up and the axle will be useless. It happen to me glad I have a warranty though.

 

Is not that hard I have a cure or a shortcut to removing that type of stuff. Just have to pour a bit of oil back into the tranny since it may leak some tranny oil.

 

have some built. You will be breaking them alot with the extra power

 

just did mine baggy .. not hard but you need the right tools as usual. tons of grease on the rim when mine went .. any good degreaser will get it clean again.
