I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING AND REPLACED SEAL. IT IS STILL LEAKING ON THE INSIDE OF SEAL. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE GOOD AND AXEL IS GOOD. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

I can only think that either the seal lip was not lubed before installing the shaft and it has been damaged, or the seal was damaged during installation, or an incorrect seal, did you try the seal on the shaft first?

yes we did . im going to the dealership to get a new seal . hope it is like the orginal one. the ones we have got so far are a little diffrent. so maybe that is our problem. i just feel like there is something else causing it to leak. thank you and i will let you know how this seal does thank you for your advice.

NO IT DIDNT . SO I PULLED THE OTHESIDE OFF EVEN THOUGH IT WASNT LEAKING AND THE BEARING WAS IN A MILLION PEACES. I REPLACED THE BEARING AND SEALS ON BOTH SIDES LAST THURSDAY IT HASNT LEAKED A BIT.

Well the good thing is that it is fixed, what i can't understand is why there was not some serious bad noise involved with a failed bearing.....
