      Could be. Put on a rim you know is straight, get the back end in the air, have a buddy look at the wheel while you put it in drive. (Do all the safety stuff plz, chock the wheels so you dont drive through a wall) let the wheel rotate and if it moves side to side or up and down, then yes you do. I believe we have 28 spline axles, if you need a new axle shaft

              If it's on a lift and he knows what he/she is doing, no more than 1 hour.

              -Remove rear cover and drain fluid.
              -Unbolt brake calipers from backing plate and remove from rotor (remove the rotor too).
              -Remove bolt from the pin in the center of the gears and remove pin.
              -Push axle inwards towards the center of the car and the C-Clip will fall off.
              -Pull axle out.

              Installation is basically everything here in reverse. Don't forget to replace fluid. ;)
