I belive mine is going now and wondering just how much of a PITA it might be. I have already changed both axles and front wheel bearings last year and I'm narrowing this noise down to a possible halfshaft problem. It just recently started making a "clunking- whirring" noise at lower speeds. i am changing the lower control arms soon and figured I would tackle that while im in there. Any ideas or info would be great. Thanks, JIM 95SE tour MTX Silver/champagne custom dual side exhaust 16" ALT180's Wrapped in BFG COMP TA's 215/50 VR4 16.0 @ 91mph before wheels and exhaust mods.

Any ideas or info would be great. Thanks, JIM You replace the entire axle. Remove wheel, caliper, rotor, end link, seperate ball joint, remove axle nut, big bry bar to seperate the balljoint from the hub, need compressor and a pneumatic tool to vibrate the end of the axle out of the hub. Use a pry bar to pop the axle out. I use a slide hammer w/ CV attachment to pull it out though. You'll also have to drain the trans. fluid unless you want it pouring out. Easy as that.
