Bad axle seal, ABS sensor, and wheel bearing????

anyone want to throw in some wise words?

 

mud and water will for sure ruin them. they supposed to be sealed but its not a perfect seal. I have more experience with solid axle then IFS honestly and I did had no time to look into them yet but my plan is to replace those o-ring seals around 40K and see if I can put some grease inside the bearing using grease needle . If they are 100% dry I will press them out and get new ones .

 

That is odd. But sometimes due to a manufacturing defect or a metallurgic fault bearings will fail prematurely.

However, sounds odd that all of this happens after the work the other shop did

 

No heat checks, metal smearing, or odd corrosion. The only thing that could cause such a failure that I can think of is improper heat treating or a flaw in the steel.

 

This might be the issue
