I recently got my 4x4 stuck and the rear axle was moving on the right side, but the rear right tire was not. Also, when I take a turn relatively fast it fishtails a little bit (tires are new). Is this likely a hub / axle issue? If so, how difficult of a repair is it?

Thanks

OK - got the new parts and plan to put it back together this weekend. Just a few questions.

Should I grease the splines on the new axle? If so, do I just use axle grease, molybdenum, or something else?

Thanks

Yes, put grease on the splines, probably doesn't really matter what kind.

just about any grease will work, marine grade is best IMO. i just finished the rear end of my 300 and used standard wheel bearing grease. Regardless, greasing the splines of the axle is a must. Be sure to grease where the hubs slide on, and where the axle meets the gear inside your differential.
