When I replaced my CV's, I noticed on the right stub axle there was an
accumulation of grunge in one spot that appeared to be perhaps grease,
that had accumulated dirt on it and it had just completely hardened.
Because of where it was I didn't try to rmove it. It looked like maybe a
sealed had leaked and collected dirt on the grease.

I have had a strange noise now for some time, whn running down the road,
and I know it is in the running gear but I can't really pinpoint it. I
suspect a wheel bearing, as I have hear bearing growls before, but I
could at least tell they were up front. This noise - and it could be a
bearing - is there somewhere. I just hink maybe it's a stub axle bearing.

Can anyone tell me about the life and times of stub axles and bearings
and what it takes to change them.

I don't recall ever seeing a discussion about this on the list.
