So, Sunday after doing the log run and seeing that I still was not reaching my boost level, I decided to wash the Z and have a couple of cold ones. While washing the drivers side rear wheel a saw several spots of black on my wheel. When I rubbed it it smeared like grease. Well it was grease! I looked in the wheel and saw a ring of grease on the inside of the wheel. I crawled under the car (barely) and looked at the backside of the rear hub and there was the problem. The CV joint boot had failed and it was slinging grease out. The rubber looks good but something is wrong.

I decided to drive the car to work this morning and left the stereo off so I could listen for any strange sounds and sure enough, as you slow down coming to a stop you can hear a click, click, click coming from that area.

A new rear axle half shaft has been ordered and should be here Thursday. Looks like I have my Saturday planned now......
