| Description of the problem | The rear axle seals were replaced with oem 2 years ago. They are now leaking again allowing gear lube to run down the tubes onto the rear brakes and tires. Rendering the rear brakes and parking brakes useless and unsafe to drive. This makes the parking brake useless putting the whole trucks weight constantly on the park pin of the transmission. This rear brake loss caused brake fade of the front brake coming off an interstate nearly rear ending another vehicle. I saw on the forums and your own complaint search that it is a very common and dangerous issue and needs to be resolved. The problem must lay in the axles and not the seal themselves to be going so often. I tow sometimes and this is my daily driver so i must fix the problem asap. I have to replace brakes and rotors all the way around along with parking shoes axle seals and bearing retainers. This is very expensive. |
