ok miight be newb tech, but i dont give a fawk :smt039
my rear iron 44 used to leak good from the pinion seal, bearings were trashed and pinion bearings shot to hell. when the hp 30 was regeared got new bearings installed and pinion seal and a differnt yoke that looked 99% new on the seal surface.
front hp30. never leaked on original gears. got 4.56 installed everything from hub to hub replaced. pinion loose after first trip out. gear guy replaced seal and reset torque. now the new d30 seal is leaking like crazy with 3,000mi on them. started leaking bad after two x 500mi highway trips. the d44 had been weeping a little gear oil, but not its leaking bad too.
what the fawk is wrong here. the gear guy came highly recommended all the seals were like spicers or timkins, whatever spicer puts in their kits.
driveshafts are balanced and all new ujoints. all the axle vent lines are new and not clogged or twisted up. gear oil not overfilled, full synthetic
might be some play in the yokes, have not checked yet, doin that tommorow
