The rear Diff recall is just the start

Just wondering peppinoss, If you’ve had the front U-joint greased, if so it could be excess grease got slung against the diff above (while spinning) and with the heat, it could look an oil leak and thus the lack of oil smell.

To be sure, I would feel around the joint for any grease and if any, clean it off, clean the diff go for a 4X4 ride and check it.

Good luck
Cheers!

 

Yeah i did grease the joints at some point before i noticed this, but i dont really see any grease spatter anywhere else. But thats a good point, i will have another look down there

 

You'll have to use your finger up in there and feel around for something "moist", I'm sure you know the drill, no pun intended hehe!

Cheers!

 

nlgi 2 grease will never, ever look like that. not grease, no way, no how.

 

I've learned to never say "never"....But that's just me...

 

Thrasher.... how old school? We used to ride Z-flex and ramps and tubes.

 

Sooooo old school we didn't have a ramp, flatland crap learning how to Ollie on a California Free former. I only saw launch ramps and 1/2 pipes in the magazines, the things they are doing today freak me out...kickflips, nollies and the like is just amaz-a-balls. I tried a kick flip and ended on the couch for a day afterwards.

 

Context is everything....
