Ok, sometime next week, I have to replace my front axles, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links, and both axle seals.
Has anyone ever replaced the axle seals on an AWD A/T? My Haynes isn't much help, and I don't wank to fuck this up. (I am driving to florida as soon as its done, so its gotta be done right)
I really would like a walk through on replacing them.. If anyone knows of a vfaq, *please* give me the link...
A word of caution to all ye who dare remove your A/C:
If you decide to remove the compressor bracket, be sure to cut off the lower portion of it, as the carrier bearing for your drivers axle uses the A/C bracket as a spacer. Without that bracket, your axle geometry is thrown off, and the worse case scenario is that you will snap both bolts from your carrier bearing, which will allow the axle to go crazy, and that will fuck up all sorts of things. (just look at the shit i have to replace above... ) Not very cheap considering that the drivedrs side axle (including the carrier bearing assembly) costs over $200 from Raxles.com
This mistake cost me a lot of mod money that now has to go to repair shit...
