I took out my rear right axle out of my 325ix 1991 in order to switch out the wheel bearing and I was wondering if the half shaft is okay or not to repack and reuse. There isn't any play on the inner or outer CV when I twist it, but if I try to rotate either, they don't feel very good. It's really tight, which I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
A second question is, when I compress my strut by hand (the lower end is disconnected), it really slowly extends itself. How do I know if a strut is good or not?
