Hey guys i dont come on here very much but hope for some feedback , i notice today that my front axel more toward the right side of the truck is leaking pretty bad, not sure how long its been leaking and also noticed right front shock is leaking a bit, truck has 52k on it, anyone else had any similar problems???? any advise would be great, im gonna have a friend who is mech look at it. Thanks!

 

You have a bad front axle seal on the right side. Its a $13 part from chrysler. It is a bit of a job. You have to remove the brakes, the shock, the upper ball joint from the steering knuckle, and the c/v axle. Once you get the axle out, pop the seal out on the end of the tube, clean it really good, put alittle grease around the inside of the tube were the seal presses in and pop a new seal back in. If your shock is leaking now is a great time to replace them.

 

I wonder if powertrain warranty would cover that axel atleast?

 

axle seal is covered under most warranties but im not sure about the unlimited powertrain thing.


I thought 08 used a strut setup on 4x4s? If the shock/strut is leaking it is time to replace them.

 

If it has the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty and it is the axle seal it should be covered.

 

So it is the axel, so should def be covered, now as for the shocks what do you guys recommend for replacement, Im def not going with factory, I was thinking maybe Monroe?

 

What do you guys recommend, one is leaking time to change, what have you had luck with to keep same or better ride, I have plow with it so I want something that will hold up in the long haul, Monroe looks to have a nice setup, give me some advice.. thanks

 

Alot of guys like bilstein around here, do a search and you will get tons of info.

 

what do guys recomend for a front end leveling kit? I seen some kits on ebay but not sure whast good, prob a 2" kit, just want to level truck out. Since im doing shocks now would be the time

 

check the fluid before you keep driving it.
