RE: Axle Shatf Oil seals?
drivers side is in the pumpkin. passenger side is at the cad.
hubs have to come out which is usually a man killer pita. the sealed, non servicable, very expensive bearings are prone to split apart and may have to be replaced before you roll again.
you could plan to do seals only, or you could go ahead and plan on bearings, u-joints, and ball joints if you like to only do it once. see the other tech articles on pavement.
