DIY Repair Inner & Outer
« on: September 12, 2006, 03:49:34 PM »
Looks like after that repair of the rear subframe we have a new project.

Apparently the Output shaft (inner and outer boots):

are leaking moly grease.  So don't pound on anything.  I was hoping to get some input or DIYs on this next project.  Also any costs estimates would be good.  I hope I don't have to replace the whole shaft assembly:( !

Having replaced the boots on these before, it is only marginally more expensive to just purchase reman shafts from BMA. The boots themselves run almost as much as just buying a reman.

That is what I thought but really did not want to go in that direction based on my assumption.  Thanks man!
