Orange County CAF's: up to no good

VERY NICE!!!

 

I wonder if it's from the time we jumped the truck in JT?

 

So the shock cycles smooth?

 

Damm!!!

 

That rear axle seal I replaced is leaking already... Worse than the original!!!
WTF???

 

Yeah, OEM seal from the dealer!
Gonna take her apart again and drop another one in... I know that if bearing is bad it cause premature wear but in three weeks??? I’m pretty sure the bearing is good condition..

 

Installation error maybe?

 

that OEM paper seal is a joke, i just tossed it when i installed my trutrac and just used some gasket maker. that was over 6 months ago i believe and no leaks yet.

 

100% Posable/Probable...

 

ya well f' that too! hahaha

 

Wally world has some Chinese made ammo cans for pretty cheap, .50 cal size

 

Nice!

 

I’m wondering if might have to do with the fact that I popped it in and pretty much went straight to Locked and Bombing for 4 days? Maybe it needs a little break-in period?
I’m really not looking forward to getting in there again... it’s not the hardest job in the world...

 

If you're going to have to go in again you might as well replace the bearing and be done with it. I had a CJ-8 that did the same thing, ended up being the bearing.

 

True Dat!
I’m looking at the bearing now... then find somewhere to get the pressing done!

 

Word!

 

What’s a wheel bearing and how often should I replace mine

 

3rd Gens don't use them so no worries.

 

One word: Google

You have a 2018, why would you need to change it?

 

Def want to change those every 3000miles with your oil change!
