Hey Guys,
A couple months ago I had this problem as well: Today i was driving and when I would make right turns I would hear this popping sound coming from my driver's side wheel. When I stopped and looked, there was axle grease all along the inside of the wheel, and some on the outside as well. The first time this happened, they replaced the axle and said I wouldn't have any other problems. I went back to the dealership and they almost didn't cover it under warranty until I talked to one of the managers, thank god. Well they are going to replace the axle again I think but my question is, I have the hotchkis springs with the stock shocks, is that a normal problem, or did it have something to do with the installation? This problem didn't come up again, until 2 days after my 15,000 mile check up so I thought they might have accidentally did something to it. And I know that running lower springs with stock shocks will wear them out quicker, but I've only had them on there for about 6,000 miles, I didn't think they would go that quick. give me your opinions, thanks.
