Rear Axle Shaft

Posted By: jamezruiz On: 09-01-2008 @ 21:32:55         Reply | Edit
has anyone replaces a bad Axle shaft in the rear ??? it eefects ride quality and thats the answer to why i kept getting bent rims and warped Brake DRUM.

can this effect the MPG in the car because of the friction???

Its actually pretty easy to replace...if you have a bent axle then you need to get it replaced.
