I finally got around to finishing up my axle replacement. The outer joint of the axle on passenger side from FCP Groton (DSS brand) seemed "tight" and sounded not like there was a lot of grease in there. Turn your sound way up and you can hear what sounds like metal rubbing metal in this video.

Should this joint be tight like that? I went ahead and installed it as I was "on a roll", but am worried this thing's going to get red hot when driving.

Tell me this is how it's supposed to be?

Thanks,

Joe
