Axle failure...repairable or not?
On my 1985 300TD w123 Ive been getting this clunking noise that speeds up with speed and sometimes dissapears when no torque is being applied (coasting), and couldnt figure it out till yesterday when I got my brother to step on and off the gas with the car jacked up so see whats going on when the wheels turn...
It looks as if the rear right axle is coming apart at the place where the arrow is pointing.... (picture is not of actual axle, just for reference). Is this repairable? And if so is it worth it? Ive seen some axles for over $600 and other for just over $100.
What do other think?
