alextremo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 The rear axle on the passenger side 'blew out' while i was driving. started leaking gear oil. seems like the bearings are broken. how do i know if i can just replace the bearings or need to replace the entire rear axle. I am thinking about repacking it...what are my options.. ? pics coming.. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nothing. Those are the things that need normal maintenance. Also make sure the rear end is topped up with lube oil. Quote Link to comment
