My front right axle.. blew? There's all these greasy crap on my wheel and theres this continuous thudding sound when i drive. The thudding gets faster as my speed increases. Ive included pictures below. I've never done any "under-the-car" job so i'm seeking help. Is it a possible DIY for an average joe? or should i take it to a shop. And also does anyone know how much it would cost me for the parts. Part numbers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If your axle is binding then it can knock/thud while driving in a straight line, this only occasionally happens, they usually click during powered turns as we all know.
Might also be your differential, they will "knock" if lash is badly out of spec or if there are broken teeth, cornering will change the load on the gears and the noise will change as well. I've heard wheel bearings knock/thud, but they usually get really hot while driving if they are that bad, you might want to use an infrared thermometer to see if the hub is burning up. And do the wiggle test like 95 suggested. |
