Description of the problem | On my 2005 nissan titan, both of my rear axle seals failed with only 48,000 miles on the vehicle. The fluid leaks axle lubricant by the rear wheels, which gets onto the rear disk brakes, which makes the rear brakes ineffective, especially when pulling a trailer. Nissan replaced the seals, however the popular belief of the cause of this is a 1-way valve vent that allows the pressure within the axle to escape, but doesn't let air back into the axle. This occurrence causes a vacuum inside the axle, which pulls on the axle seals and causes them to age prematurely. |
