My '06 had 3 rear axle seal failures before the differential failed and had the entire rear-end replaced. The other day, a Nissan shop foreman told me that the reason why the seals were failing was because the drive shafts within the rear axle was not thick enough and caused too much twisting motion, resulting in too much stress on the seals causing premature failures. According to him, the new rear-ends, including my replacemt has beefier shafts to prevent this from occuring. I have not seen this piece of info. on this forum before, and I have no clue as to the credibility of what he told me. However, he was speaking with confidence.
