| Post subject: | Leaky front axle seal, now with CV shaft play |
After Vermont overland I discovered my passenger front axle was leaking some gear oil. Just pulled the axle to replace the seal but the seal is fine. the axle however has about a half millimeter of in and out play after getting the c clip seated. Is this normal or is it supposed to have no play like the driver's side? Alternatively is there some trick to seat the axle correctly? |

I'd check the axle seal again,I've had a few with small slits that leaked. No trick I know of either, that side is always a pain for me.Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk |

I did my front axle seals in a day, pretty easy. I did my hubs too while I had everything apart. Popin the axles back in can be a pain so get a big deadblow and a 2x4. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk |
