Re: Front Axle Snaps from Diff
FYI, the 6 bolts that hold the front CV's to the stub shafts won't cause an oil leak, even if they're all broken/removed. What happens is the stub shaft actually pulls out of the diff.
My stub shaft has come out of the front diff several times. Most recently a few days ago while I was on a trip down in Baja. This time however, I managed to twist the stub shaft so I couldn't just slide it back in like normal. So a days drive from the border I ended up having to pull out the front diff and ultimately hammer the stub shaft back into place. I'm sure I voided the hell out of the warranty! Gonna take it to the dealership today.
