Description of the problem | At 79,000 miles both rear output shaft seals went out due to a design flaw. An air regulator on the top of the output shaft case can get clogged easily and if not caught in time can cause serious damage to not only the seals but the transmission case. Also, at 80,000 miles the entire steering gear needs to be replaced. If this issue is not taken care of it could cause a serious accident or worse if the vehicle is moving.. |
