Front Final Gear Case

[KE4AVB]

Well I drain the final drive only half the oil that should be in it either oil was rust color or I have bronze in it. Hoping it is just rust from the oil never being changed and a leaky axle seal.

The RH CV joint once cleaned does has problem. Bearing balls are pitted. It is also goes through both smooth and binding when cycled at extreme range. The LH CV joint shows no signs wear as it smooth thoughout all movements; of course, I didn't open up boot seal either.

I ordering a new half shaft and seals. I hoping this is it. As it going be at least twice the cost of the half shaft if it is in the final too. That cost doesn't include the half shaft.

Installed the half shaft and seals. Delivered Sunday and haven't any back on it so it must be working will give it a couple week more just for good measure.
