Couple of things, need to change out my front axle seal. So after picking up the axle seal from the dealer as I wanted to do it asap and not wait around for shipping parts in.. I also inquired about the axle nut.. They want $23 for just the nut. Th seal itself was 33$.
Both items are a rip off compared to the online prices.. but why the hell is the nut 23$? I called some local places around and no one carries it.. How bad would it be to re-use my old nut I remove? I am planning on ordering some ball joints to replace in the next couple of months so I figured I can order a new nut then for about $3 from pelican parts.
Also, on slower speeds in parking lots etc I heard weird clunks/thuds from the front end. I was checking my 2 tires for play today and shaking them at the 6 & 12 and 9 & 3 o'clock positions they are firm and solid - no play. Also, driving around the car feels very tight and solid on the road, with no play in the steering of any kind. So I am unsure where these odd clunks are coming from at slower speeds.
Could it be perhaps that its from the actual rear end as I do need a 1 or 2 ball joints back there and I plan on doing all 4 in the next couple of months.
