I am having a problem with my driver's side rear axle for my 3 bolt rear.
About 2 weeks ago, the clip holding the boot on the axle broke off. (Hijacked pic from someone elses car in this forum attached and circled in red) I secured it with a large tie wrap since I had to go to work.
I then forgot that I had done that. I was driving around and I started getting an intermittent shrill sound from the rear at low speeds like my car was crying.
I found axle grease all over the place.
Questions:
1) Is the axle screwed or should I try to repack it with grease?
2) How do I do this job? What all has to come off? What tools do I need?
3) What sort of grease should I pack it with?
4) Will I lose my expensive, pain in the butt to get in heavyweight redline shockproof?
Thanks for your help!
