Re: 98 v70r - Axle issues

I spoke with the mechanic that changed it out the axle. He put in a new axle and it is driving fine atm. He said when he the put the car on the lift, the bearing which is supposed to be in the middle of the shaft was no longer connected and had slid 1-2 inches toward the center of the car. This was ...
