Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
I had my Truetrac installed a couple of weeks ago and I had not noticed any leaks before the install. So I got under the truck yesterday to change the rear diff oil and saw leaks on both sides covering the rear brake assemblies. Now I understand that I have the seals leaks BUT could the installation be the cause or it is simply a coincidence and this would have happened anyway?

It is possible that the shop that installed the TT did not clean the area up after installation (that was in my case). To be sure, I would wipe the area clean and check it frequently. If it starts showing up again then it should be fixed.

The manual says that the seals should always be replaced when the axle is pulled. However, this is a known problem with Titans. When I take mine in I am not going to say a word about the TT. I'm going to say the diff is fine... fix the seal. Warranty work, imo.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
I also noticed oil around my vent. Is this normal? I'm thinking to do the rear axle breather vent mod, but I want to make sure I get the attachment that threads in properly...

Finaly going in next tuesday for the axle replacement

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
I have rechecked the leaks and it seems these are indeed the stains left after the installation. I will now have to check frequently to make sure these are not the leaks. Anyway I am now thinking of doing the breather vent mod but I am concerned that for some on this forum it did not work or worked the opposite way.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
I ran the factory diff fluid that the service department put in after my seal repalcement for a couple of months. I checked it today and it looked terrible! It was pitch black and had a terribly stench!!!! I Replaced it with Mobil 1 which I had been running prior to the seal replacement. What kind of crappy diff fluid is Nissan using?

I also had to have the front diff fluid changed when installing the Truetrac since it was black and it was actually underfilled.

Well they finaly fixed mine, but didn't give me the new axle they ordered....They just pressed in a new seal and said they are no longer replacing entire axles for this problem. The guy there said there has been some problems of the seals not being pressed in properly.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
Filed my complaint right now. My rear passanger axle seal was replaced today. It was in the shop 2 times in the last week and the dealer didn't catch it so I took it somewhere else.

I brought my truck in today for a trans cooler leak and they found the Rt rear axle seal leaking "at a steady drip" they said. I have 32k.

Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.
five--let us know how it goes. Please give us the background information your Titan. Also, if you want to file a complaint, the link is below.


All
It is my understanding the axles are leaking rear diff fluid. If so, it make sense to keep driving the Titan until enough leaks out to ruin the diff, especially if short trips are in the future.

comments?
