    Rear axle leak

    My rear axle is leaking from the front. Grease all over the underside(least it won't rust there!!)

    Should I worry, or just check it occasionally?

    any kind of leak is not good,lol. when you say the front, do you mean the front of the differential, or the back side where the drqain and fill plugs are? if its from the backside, pop off the cover, clean it up, throw a new gasket on, reattach cover, and fill till it starts dribblin out the fill hole. if you have a trac-loc make you you get gear lubricant that specifies that it contains limited slip additives
    Save a seal, club a liberal.

        Probably the pinion seal, might just be the seal, or the pinion bearings could be going. Keep an eye on it. You could also check to see how much play there is on the pinion if you're under the car with it in nuetral.

          No movement in it at all. Car only has 34000 on it. She sat around alot.

          By the way, your wagon looks great with those rims/tires. :banana:

              If I was you I would just get rid of them and get some nice stock wire spoke hubcaps for it.

                  Uh, no. I'd rather just put the turbines back on. Which I might do anyway.

                    Let me know if you want to sell them.

                    I was being sarcastic, by the way.

                      Those wheels look good on almost everything I've seen them on. I know a guy with a really sweet Mark VII LSc SE with those wheels and it looks nice. Much better than I think it would look with the stock wheels.

                        One of my freinds had an 86 SVO mustang with them it looks awesome. They are nice wheels, maybe I'll just get the 10" wide ones for the rear now...


                        I could tell, sometimes sarcasm does flow well through the net...

                        I wet sanded the spot down with 200 and sprayed some clear over it. Doesn't look too bad. Can't even tell from 4 feet away now.
