97 malibu noise at axle seal
97 Malibu 3.1 auto 165k
noise where the axle meets the trans seal passenger front - sounds like a wheel bearing at speed, but the noise originates where the axle meets the seal - replaced both front hubs 8000 miles ago, car did sit the winter - when turning the hub by hand, it sounds like a rubber on rubber rub - noise not in the inner cv joint - can pinpoint noise to the housing/seal area - small amount of leakage at that seal - axle cv joints are whole and not worn - tranny feels firm and tights - noise does not change with braking - i cleaned out the seal area with brake cleaner and sprayed with wd40....also tried pb blaster - no change Would a dried out seal make this kind of noise...anyone seen this before? it might work itself out as i begin to drive it again....i'm stumped and not an expert. thanks Todd |
