The right inside axle boot on my '83 300D has a big split in it and it has
thrown out quite a bit of grease.
The differential is still full of oil.
There has been a noise when the car is neither accellerating nor
decellerating that sounds like the noise an old Chevy differential often
makes: a steady hum.
Could the right side differential bearing be making the noise or can a bad
axle shaft make that sort of noise or is it most likely the differential
ring gear/pinion?
Thanks,
