About 2 weeks about I found a bunch on grease which had be spun up from my rear passenger tire.
A few days later I noticed a clicking/tapping sound when I take left hand turns. The noise isn't present until I either take a hard turn or firmly press the brakes.
My friend diagnosed it as a blown axle seal. Especially when I said the grease was from the rear wheel. He also pointed out how the axle felt and sounded clunky. He said the cause is when someone puts too much grease into the axle, then when you drive hard, it blows the seal. I was also told that I have another 5k on it until it blows.
Has anyone else had this issue? Was it covered by the warranty? Of course I am going to drop it off at Ford and see what they say. But if they want to charge me, I am taking it somewhere else.
I do remember reading someone having to pay for their CV axle. Is this is same as the CV boot? I used to blow those all the time with the roads I live on.
