good evening everyone.

this is not a problem solving thread, i know whats wrong. but i want some pointers.. as im doing some repair work... 'while im there' what else should i do~? to save having to do it later.

my front axle is leaking. both ends. from the wheel hubs. axle greese and transmission fluid.

so im guessing the drive shaft oil seals have given up.
the felt bits on the wheel hubs have also given up.

anything else i should change while im in there???

thanks.


where can i get the felt's from?

King pin bearings
You can get cheaper bearings than this but I wouldn't.
Good price for 2 Koyo 30302 and a seal

cheers btw.

kingpin bearings. good idea. with oil seal. good good.

i think i have seen the felt and plate kits on the bay of E.

i have some bog stock castrol LM grease.. will that do for the bearings and other bits like regreasing the CV joints.?
