Reply to "IRS rear axle boots leaking....need a fix"

David Stroud IM Roadster DOttawa Canada '83 IM Soob

Oil appears to be coming out of the torn boots so likely those drive collars will need to come off and the tranny gets new seals.

IM will be able to provide more info tomorrow on what parts I may have in there...Robert has been pretty good at digging out info.

There appears to be 48,000 km on the car ( about 29,000 miles ) , about 6,000 km of the 48 by me since the previous owner had the car " refurbished " by IM in 1992. That's about 27 years ago. It would appear that some of these maintenance items may have been ignored over the years or it's just time for a good going over right now. This was likely reflected in the low price that I paid for the car and I understand that but I need to make this thing ready to travel.

We'll know more tomorrow. Thanks for the quick help, Guys.
