This morning I was driving about 50 and the front end started to shake like a son of a *****. I had to almost stop for it to quit. It did it everytime I got up to about fifty. Got home jacked it up shaked the hell out of it and I found the front sway bar to be loose but that was all that was loosen then I found on the pass side diff fluild leaking.

My question is in the pic below is that gap suppose to be there. Sorry fo the side ways pic the only pic i could get.

those are not seals on the ends of the axle they just keep out the major things like rocks and debris the shaking could be from a couple of areas your track bar could be worn out in the bushings your front stabilizer could be shot could even be your alignment. check all the bushings and the tie rods and your stabilize.

oh and the seal is in pumpkin after the bearings on each side

Track bar is 2 year old I checked every thing Would the swaybar on the driver side being loose cause it?

SOme thing is leaking from the front end and it is coming from that knuckle.

probably a blown axle seal. the sway has nothing to do with death wobble. check out the ball joints and TRE's

i don't think the sway would do it but maybe. most likely it is the front bushings or the steering stabilizer and the leak is coming from the seal in the pumpkin there is no outer seal on these it is in the diff on the out side of the bearings. check your alignment

You said what i didn't want to hear! I figured it was probably a blown seal.

i forgot the ball joints thanks

lol i'm going through the same thing my bearings are going bad my alignments off and i had that same wobble '' it felt like the thing was gonna shake apart" so i started with changing out the steering stableizer and it made a world of difference so now i'm waiting on my bearings to come in so i can put those in and then get it aligned. Then it should be good. hope this helps you out.
