    How to change intermediate shaft/axle bearing Gen1 Mazdaspeed3

    How to change intermediate shaft/axle bearing Gen1 Mazdaspeed3

    Does the sealed bearings require the dust and grease seals ? Im getting a wump-wump-wump sound from the front and I just replaced the CV axles. My wheel bearing are good. And now my cross shaft is good, no play at CV end. How far do the passenger side CV go in? I have about 4mm of lateral play...
