So these passed couple of days my car has had a hard time accelerating from a dead stop. Loss of power so to speak. Oh, and I have a 5spd by the way.
At first I thought it was my tires, so I put air in but when I turn left or go kinda slow it feels like I have a flat tire. It's pretty bad.
I looked under the car today and see a $hit load of grease underneath the boot that goes into the transmission on the sub frame. I replaced the outer passenger side boot recently also but caught it before it sprayed grease everywhere.
I think I have a bad axle. I also smelled a burning smell a couple times while driving.
Does a bad axle explain the burning smell, loss of power and bumpy flat tire feeling when turning left or going slow? I might just go get one of those lifetime axles. Not sure it's safe driving a bad axle...
But I want your guy's opinion on this first before I replace the axle. Thanks
