I have a 2004 malibu and when I step on the brakes, the car will shake and vibrate the steering wheel. The brakes are new, the ball joint looks good too, but there is fluid seeping from around the transmission where the drive axle is connected. Do I need to replace my driveaxle?

Hi there, the oil leak will be the transmission seals,where the axle fits in, this is a simple job when the drive shaft is removed, the vibration will be warped front rotors, they can be re-machined as long as they are still with in the min thickness tolerance.
