Title: Yellow mustard like substance? Post by: ikethegreat on October 19, 2015, 09:08:25 AM So I was changing out the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches on my AT this weekend and I noticed this yellow mustard like substance all around the driver's side axle. Is this a sign of a blown axle? Or is it from something else?
The ride has been pretty crappy but I contributed that to the bad bushings on my LCAs. Also, notice the axle sitting directly on top of some sort of plug on the AT? It is literally smashing it. I assume the axle is hitting it because of the bad LCA bushing. Anyone know what that plug is for?

Any idea what that sensor is that my axle is crushing? I looked at the diagrams on the Honda parts websites but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.
