Beginning of the week I've been getting a wierd shaking/jittering sensation when I accelerate off the line at a stop light. It is not very dramatic and only noticable if I apply the right amount of throttle and pay attention. 3 days ago on the freeway i was cruising at about 60mph and on the throttle. The lane was very bumpy and when I would accelerate, it seemed like the car was braking and i couldnt accelerate. It seems as if the car was bogging but not misfiring (no cel were thrown). This symptom would go away as soon as I let go of the gas and reapply throttle.
Checked transmission fluid. Looks good and it doesnt feel like a transmission slipping. It feels like brakes are dragging or coming on in the rear. During the wierd sensation I felt no abs lights flashed and I could not hear the abs unit engage.
After that day I parked in the garage i could smell a wierd smell coming from the passenger rear tire well area. Visual inspection shows not grease or fluid. But the smell was strong that day, the past 3 days the smell is very faint, i can barealy smell it at all.
Here is a picture after i pulled the rear passenger tire and drum cover. No visual signs of fluid however i rubbed my finger around and can feel like fluid mixed with dust and its kinda damp on teh cover. Feeling behind the hub thing gave me greasy slippery fingers.
This enough evidence to replace my rear seal? what explains the wierd jittering boggin sensation?
Also is it safe to put my jack stand on the rear axle like this? I read around that its okay to jack from the axle but not too sure....dont want to bend or damage that axle lol
