auszookers.com :: View topic - diff oil inside rear rim???

Hey guys

Driving home tonight i had a knock in the rear that was really intermittent, and i couldnt replicate it by braking/accelerating/turning etc...

Anyway - got home and stuck my head under and theres a fair bit of diff oil thats run out from i assume the rear hub (cant have come from anywhere else).

Possible diagnosis???

Im worried about the clunking part!!!! Hoping a wheel bearing is gone and the wheel is clunking rather than something in the diff!

not bad if it is... those rear wheel bearings and seals are over 9 years old.

wowo what a difference!!

new bearings & seals and new shoes & cylinders... stops on a dime and no my clunking... interestingly what i thought was tyre noise has reduced too... so perhaps the bearings were infact screaming in pain the last few weeks and i just assumed my tyres were howling a bit more =P haha

axle seal for sure. jus pull the axle out and see if the bearing has collapsed and go from there.

yeh it will be the bearings and the seal the car does that funny thing, and the inside of the wheel will have oil on it

rear axle seals? I have a bit of a leak on the inside of my rear wheels too which I'm presuming is diff oil.

Yeah def your bearings and seals. The same thing happened to me. I'm guessing once the bearing goes, the axle is able to move around a bit more and screws the seal as well

must be driving style.... lol or maybe the fact i dont clean it that well and the dirt holds it together. front bearings lasted about 3 years last time i replaced them. (one collapsed completely and destroyed a brake pad). Time will tell how long the new rears last =)
