Front Axle question - Land Rovers Only

ArmyRover · 04-17-2008, 05:12 PM

ok this may be a dumb question and if it is I'll enjoy the burn but....

Are the front hubs linked somehow to the diff for fluid flow? My diff leaks a bit but it's always over full.... I noticed contamination in the fluid today but it wasn't water it looks like the LR grease I put in the hubs is in the diff fluid!

If they are linked what gasket blew and what do I need to look at for a fix.

Hey Army...I believe that if your inner seal goes, than you will get fluid transfer between the two. I'll e-mail you a PDF.

It is a chore...but not hard...just time. When you do it, you might as well do bearings, brakes, and cv joint service...because you'll have it all apart.
