This is my front passenger side half shaft its been noisy for a while so I have looked at it today.....Is it dead or is there something I need to re tighten as I popped this second hand half shaft in ? 6 months ago.

If it is dead are they left and right handed or can I pop the drivers side out of my scrapper and fit in the passenger side of my runner?

Cheers for any help

Looks like its bronze bush replacement time then .
Yes mines noisey when driving, making a metallic squeal now
I was thinking my front diff was iffy but now leaning towards it being these buggers

..I could be wrong but screeching is normally bearings ?? mine is knocking loudly

[animal]

its not the bearings as ive only just sorted new discs and pads and sorted bearings on both front corners , so it can only be bushes , drive shafts or diff

Yes that's bronze bushes

Yes ....been there , done that ...... it might be worth having a spare drive shaft in case it is badly worn Also the seal on the rear of the hub is FUBAR'ED


When mine went it dragged the spring from the seal through the hub

Thanks

Thats ok .... BTW i it was meant to read that a spare seal would be a good idea incase the one on the rear of the hub is fubar..... Also check the wheel bearings when out as it's a bugger to reassemble it all to find they go 6 weeks later
