Subject:      new half axle
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Because the boot on a new axle was under warrenty, the axle was again
replace.  Now I have this noise which appears to be the axle.  There is no
play in the shaft.  The noise appear to be from road vibration or something
like that.  The noise is more like the axle moving horizonatlly and hitting
a limit.  The noise is like tapping a hollow pipe that is soft metal (like a
noise hitting an aluminum pipe with a dead blow hammer for lack of a better
term describing the noise).  Is this typical of some axles until they break
in a little?
