| Description of the problem | My vehicle is a 2006 nissan titan se crew cab 4x4. I was looking at my new tires when i noticed fluid leaking at the end of the axle where it joins with the wheel. Fortunately, there was no failure. I took it 2 miles down the road to central valley nissan upon noticing this problem (i was down there within 30 minutes). The service manager said they have seen this on titans before. He said it is a rear axle seal that has failed. I was told this happens because the axle warps. I made an appointment to have this fixed the next day (i am going down first thing tomorrow morning). I am hopeful that this problem will not occur again with my vehicle. Based on internet searches, this problem seems to be fairly widespread. Sincerely, michael james |
