Default Correct

The clicking indicates that the joint is not smoothly gliding. Repacking may help, but you'll be back in a month to replace it. For the amount of work it is, save up for the new joint and put it on in a few weeks (depending on how long you have been clicking!)

Default you can try repacking it if you are cheap and are selling it. I've had reman axles for ~$100 in the.

past. You can check what raxles.com charges.<ul><li><a href="http://www.raxles.com">Click-ity</a></li></ul>
