Sounds like axle bearings and seal...Not alot to fix....fairly cheap actually...
in and out I would expect some play...grabbing the tire and side to side would no be good...that would be the bearing or I would suspect that..

the car drives great ,I notice when going around a turn the brake pad whistles alittle on the rotor. The leak is from the bearing seal..do i need to pull the axle to replace it?

Click to expand...


Yup..Axle has to come out...Its not that bad..just gotta pull the dif cover as you have to remove the C-Clips to get the axles out....that means the dreaded ABS sensors have to be removed...cant get the axles in far enuf to pull the C clips with them in place....Those can be the worst part if the stuck... If they come out easy, you got it made....
Do you have a seal puller??? kinda looks like a pick axe??? if not get one...they're cheap and work sweet...
