i just installed new wheel bearings in my coily last Wednesday and have only travelled maybe 200k's, found it in the shed today with an bucket load of diff oil sitting on the floor.

Pulled it all apart the inner axle oil seal looks perfect but the bearing which was a good quality nsk bearing definitely the right one for the vehicle. It seems to already have excess play and the pressed in bearing seals are not sitting in correctly anymore.

i know my diff housing is slightly bent, i have had alot of issues with rear wheel bearings failing early. I recently straightened it but i know it is not perfect.

how bent do they have to be to cause this problem and does anyone have a straight sj80 rear housing within a few hours of the sunshine coast lol

the next hosing i get will be braced before i put it in for sure

probably as bent as what you have now would cause the problem.
Are the axle seals sitting ok?

Hey Saam , have you thought about getting your housing professionally straightened and braced at the same time , it could end up being cheaper in the long run. Don't quote me though..
