Installed a new driver side axle yesterday. The outer joint developed play after me running it low on grease so many times. Long story but struggled with this axle for some time now. Decided to replace it last fall but there were none available so I installed a new boot and new grease again and completed my track season. Now with summer track season is on hold so it is maintenance season here in the desert and axles are in stock again.
Edit: attempted to add a short video .mov of me showing the slop in the joint but that is an unsupported format.
Bought a digital torque wrench and went around and torqued all the suspension and chassis bolts I have had apart over the last year, I found that oddly satisfying.
What did you do with your 718 this week?
