Both sides feel the same. Plenty of grease in all U-joints. Should I be worried? Thanks
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it until it: 1) started leaking; or 2) started making really scary clunky noises that you could both feel and hear. Then I'd change it all out for the ERA outboard braked rear.
