Trouble in the south west…
On my seemingly endless journey a great deal of things have happened, both good and bad. This is some bad news. I think I mentioned having trouble with my CV joints on the rear half-shafts before. Well it is turning into major trouble now. On I40 heading through Arizona I started to have some trouble with my drivers side rear Axle making a awful knocking noise. I stopped and put more grease into the joint with my small grease gun and that worked for a hundred miles than it started clicking again. I repeated the process and it seems okay for now. I am leaving New Mexico tomorrow on my way to Denver. Its 500 Miles and I could not find these axles anywhere. It seems that there is only 3 pairs of them in the whole country or something crazy like that.
Send me luck that this joint lets me make it into Denver! I am most likely going to have to buy some rebuilt axles since they seem to be more highly recommended than the cheaper Chinese ones. I’ll let you know how it goes. I also seem to have a air leak in the veggie system and I can’t quite track it down. So that has been giving me troubles again. I will post again soon. Hopefully not while stranded!
