Good morning,
I was replacing the shock mount on the lower left a arm this weekend and pulled the left axle out to make it alot easier. My question is, on the inner cv joint or whatever it's called is there suppose to be a air bleed hole in the plate between it and the outout plate on the final drive. That area in there was packed full of the grease from the joint, still feels as though it still has plenty in it, and rotate freely. The photos I got sure gave me some great ideals on reinforcing the lower shock mount, my son took his time and did a beautiful job welding.

There is a vent hole and that area will get full of grease if the joint was overpacked. I would not be concerned.
