my front axle has been leaking a tiny bit from the knuckles for quite some time now, i always check it once a month and top off as needed, but now its gushing. the front diff cover got pretty got pretty warm to the touch today after half an hour on the freeway. and its starting to howl and it feels like im driving into a stong headwind so i assume the bearings are now ruined. i can get the new bearings thru my work but i dont list part numbers for the seals. i had a buddy get me a seal for the drivers side awhile back but never put it in, is the pass side the same?
basically what im getting at is i need someone to help me reseal the front axle and change the bearings and races. if you can get me part numbers i can get the parts i just need someone to help me tear into the front axle for the first time, ive never taken it apart so i dont want to take the chance of doing something wrong. im thinking new ujoints on the axle shafts, and new seals and bearings on the carrier and the pinion. i probably need new unit bearings too but i cant afford that right now.
so can one of you SoCal gear gurus help me out, or at least point me in the right direction for parts?
thanks guys!:worship:
i know this should probably be in the tech forum but i really need someone semi local to help me out with the job, this is my DD!
