Wheel Vibrations while Accelerating...

Post by E170_Driver »

For some time I have been feeling quite some vibration when accelerating, especially uphill (lots of pull) and wonder if this loss of grease from my axle assembly has something to do with it.

Thanks,

The vibrations you described are typical of a half shaft starting to go which could be further evidenced by your leaking boot. Might be worth having a closer look.

Good Luck,
