    I replaced both wheel hubs. Both axles for extended travel axles and one steering knuckle that was bent.
    I had someone help me that I should have paid much more attention to. And he damaged the inner wheel seal, axle seal. So I guess the question is, why is it still leaking? What do I do about it?And do you think I need to replace my brand new extended travel axle because of this little thing you see in the picture

    you should be able to get that gasket from somewhere. i would suspect a normal toyota gasket works.

    either contact toyota, or contact the company you got the axles from. it sucks, but i doubt you're the first to screw up the seal.

    Well, I did replace the axle seal, but this seems like it is part of the axle. Itself, but I'm going to contact the people like got the axle from ncy. That's a good idea thank you

    So I guess I hope it's leaking from that little missing piece of flange, and I gotta say that rock auto is pretty cool because it's past the return period that they are. You're defending me the new one. So I order one, install it and return the broken 1. Pretty cool of them, but it still really sucks, and I really hope that that's the issue
    Can anybody think of anything else that it would be
