axle oil in drums...
1991 cherokee briarwood
today after putting in new wheel cylinders and shoes on i noticed some axle oil in the brakes. wondering if theres just a bad o ring somewhere or what. any thoughts? |
yes there are outer axle shaft seals

bad seals with the cause being possibly bad bearings which can cause axle grooving... ask me how i kno..

if u are going to do the seal as stated above check the axle shafts to see if they have any grooving in them.

yeah because it would be pointless to replace the seal. The seal will get ruined in a few thousand miles. not only that but they could be VERY prone to snapping because the groove goes past the heat treated metal. if you replace the bearing it will still be pointless because the axle will ride on the seal and bust it. axle shafts can be expensive unless u pull it yourself at a junkyard. most of the time a full service junkyard will charge u less for the whole rearend than just the axle shafts. and if i were to do that i would just get a D44 just because lol
