Diff leaks anyone have pics?
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:27:19 PM »
So apparently these trucks have some diff/driveshaft leaking issues from the front. Can anyone post a pic of where these leaks occur and what parts are necessary to replace to remedy this? I'm about to drop my front diff to lock the actuator shut so I wanted to replace any parts that may leak in the future now.

Just had to replace my driver side rear axle seal. Autozone had it for $4.39. Haven't had a drip from the front though!

because of the full time hubs in the front, the cv's always spin and the seals at the diff housing can wear prematurely, so ive heard, both my gv and xl-7 have yet to leak, but this is what your hearing about....

2K1USGV, I think you are referring to the seals where the CV shafts enter into the housing on both the left and right side of the front diff (banjo).  The passenger side appears to be the seal to begin seeping... then leaking before the driver side seal.  Some attribute this to the fact the passenger shaft doesn't have the bearing support inside the diff which allows more play to the shaft.  A forum member in a past post recommended ordering and installing Suzuki part number 27619-65D00 before replacing the seal which he stated took alot of the free play out of the shaft.  This part is a bushing, of sorts, which affords the extra tightness.  I am preparing to replace the seal on the passenger side of my Tracker.  It has 108K miles on it.
