Title: Rear Axle sliding joint
Post by: JGHeller on May 27, 2007, 12:15:19

I have read that the sliding joint coupler on the right rear axle can be the Achilles heal of the single joint swing axles.  Is there any way to visually inspect it while I have my rear axle out to put in new seals, ect.

Thanks,
John

John, Had a 111 coupe that had the bolt that held the axle in, come loose.  Put a hole the diff. case.  Gonzo!  Maybe a little Loctite is needed.
