Going for my 1st axle rebuild and have a few questions. I have the 1/2 shafts off the car, boots cut off and the paint can lids pulled. Oh, and lots of grease.
When i reasseble the axles, are both ends the same or is the inner different than the outer?
One end of the shaft has a single groove and the other has 2 grooves in the shaft, does this tell what part is connected to the rear vs hub?
How do i tell if the parts are too worn or need replaced? I planned to regrease and put new boots on. What else should i look for?
One of the axle ends looked like it was wet with water in the grease (boot looked fine) Is that an issue?
Thx,
Todd
