Hello guy, so yesterday I installed my new axle and I started hearing a creaking-groaning noise. I thought it was the axle but the more I did research the more it sounds like my ball joints. Both my lower and upper ball joints are spilling all the grease and the little boots look broken. I want to verify that if any one else has had this problem if that could be it. The groaning and creaking come when I stop, go over bumps, or accelerate. My lower ball joint looks like the boot is busted and has grease all over it. I just want to verify this is correct before I take to mechanic.

 

ya that could deffinatly be ball joints making that noise my eg made the same noise til i replaced the upper ball joint

 

oh yeah thats it i just replaced mine

 

Was it your upper or lower?
