help!!

Post by muddymohawk » Sat Apr 12, 2014 10:16 pm

Hi guys I'm in need of pointing in the right direction, I have discovered a small leak from the front diff. Looks to me that its coming from where the sharft input end. Only noticed it when I saw a few drips on the floor in the middle of the truck. Problem I'm having is trying to track a seal down?! None on eBay and other motoring websites.. Do I try main dealer and get ripped a new one?! Lol :thumbdown:

Hi you can get the seals from Suzuki but you can't just pop it in you need to take the diff apart and set it up properly...

It turns out to be a leak on the diff on the gearbox.. Its leaking from the receiving prop end that comes off the front diff.. Still struggling to find a damn seal. :cry:
