Re: Replacing Rear Axle Seal?

Yeah, you only have 48k so have the dealer fix it. And if they give you any flack about the lift/tires.

Explain this to them:

First of all, the lift kit doesn't affect the axle bearings/seals in any way, so they can get that thought out of their minds.

Second, the larger tires could potentially cause a bearing failure. You don't have a bearing failure though, you have a seal failure. So it wasn't the wheel/tire that caused the seal failure. What I'm saying is that the wheel/tire would cause the bearing to fail, which in turn would cause the seal to fail. That's not the case here though. You ONLY have a seal failure, which is a well documented problem.

They should fix it and send you on your way if they're any kind of dealership though.
