It's a snowy winter here, the snow it's up to 6 feet high.
I was helping a van to get out of snow, I was in low, a lot of rpm as the van was heavy... and clonk! No drive at all.... Lucky me, engaged the CDL, and drive home like a crippled dog, with only rear wheel drive( a bloody P38 RR was hooted me to clear his way); the oil was leaking out of my front axle, can't see where from exactly.
My questions, is it a sign of broken half shaft? I mean oil leak and no drive...
Trying today to move the car, only the rear left wheel was moving front and reverse, the rear right moves only a little , a few inches front a few inches back. Can be said that front left (or passenger's side...) half shaft is broken?
I just want to know before ordering a new one; OK, I know that it must be checked and wheels turned in a proper space but I want to save some time to order parts.
Many thanks for any help!
