Ok, so i searched forever on the net but NOTHING anywhere has come up regarding front diff seals or replacing them so ANY help is greatly appreciated with my issue....
A week or so ago i replaced the (inner) rear axle seals and proceeded to replace both (inner) fronts. All seemed to be perfect however today after changing my oil when i noticed that my Right side inner differential/axle seal is leaking, here is the question.
On all three (L Rear, R Rear, L Front) inner seals were all removed easily and replaced in a sinch, they all only go in so far and sit in their proper position snugly in their socket. However, when i removed the R Front seal i noticed there is no cup or socket like all other three seals.
I believe my issue is this: i pushed the seal in too far when i replaced it, can anyone give me any advice as to how far in the seal should sit? for example should it sit flush with the outside housing or be inset a few millimeters or far enough in so that you can see the bearings inside the differential housing (current positioning)? Thank you in advance.
