Question Front axle seal's

[IDSTROKER]

Ok les schwab replaced front ball joint's and all seal's. Now the passenger side axle seal is leaking oil out not a lot just a little bit enough to make the bottom side of the knukle oily. Is there a seal inside that got damage when they put the axle back in .

 

[JLDickmon]

yes, and mine leaks, too.

IIRC, the seal comes out from the carrier side of the diff case.. that's why mine have been dribbling for 90,000 miles.

if you can get Schwabs' to replace it free, go for it. But if they balk, don't try to ram it down their throats.. make a deal with them.

I saw these seals on TV called SEALS-IT. Kind of a triple seal deal that racers use. Anyone used these? They are only like 30 bux or so. While I'm tearing mine apart to do the same thing I'm gonna get the best. I'm sure i only want to do this ONCE.
