    Change front driveshaft

    Hi! I have to change the front right driveshaft on my ix. Does anyone have some hints or tricks? I expect that some oil will drip out or something, but what kind of oil? Is it from the front diff, or gearbox or what? I haven't had a 4wd before, so I have no clue... hehe. Any help appreciated :)

    no oil should come out

    there's not much to it really - loosen the 30mm hub nut with the car on the ground (take the lock plate out first) undo the control arm & tie rod ball joints, take off the brake, press the shaft out of the hub, and pull the driveshaft straight out of the diff. it's easier if you remove the strut as well but you don't have to.
