I have a 94 Legacy Station Wagon that has about 150k miles on it and
still runs great, but I took it in to get the oil changed and was told
that the front axle shaft was cracked and this sticky stuff was
exposed. However, it was late in the day and the mechanics decided not
to do anything about it. I haven't driven the car much since then, but
haven't had a chance to go in and get it fixed. How soon should I go
in and do this? I would have done this earlier but live far enough
away from a mechanics (I'm out in a rural area) that I can't just go
and do it easily, and this has been a busy week. Would I be able to
make a 400 mile (roundtrip) Thanksgiving drive on this without creating
more problems? That would be great, because then I can just get it in
afterwards, but I don't want to cause damage that would add to the
cost.
Thanks.
