Well being a proud member of this forum, I watch my front knuckles pretty closely along with everything else, heh. Anyways I was under the front axle looking up at those fun to reach bolts on the underside of the intake manifold when I caught a glimpse of what appears to be a "dry" knuckle.GASP!
The lowdown: 95,000 miles and no birf service yet. Recently had some fun in the mud with everything locked. We recently had several inches of snow over about a 2 week period and with it all the D.O.T. de-icer on the roads and what not.
Now I notice the front side of each knuckle is dry and even has a lil bit of rust on each one. The back side has the typical grease layer but not the front, hmm. I don't ever recall seeing this before. Is this normal? I think not. I haven't checked the lil plug on top of the axle yet but will in the morning. Could just fillin this resevoir solve my problem or is there something bigger goin on here?
Thnx , Vince
