Greetings all, Happy Fathers Day!
I took my XJ down to California ( 7hr drive ) to see my dad. Even though I had some issues with noise that came up some times, the thing has been running well. I did change out my drivers side hub, and headed down the hwy.....
I went out this morning, and there was a "stain" by my front left tire. I must of destroyed the seal when I put back the axle, plus I am still getting some noise sometimes when I come to a stop. I also have some oil on the inside of the tire and so spray inside the wheel fender
I assume that the inner bearing is shot, but now I have a leaky axle and noise, and 400 miles from home. I bought some more oil and have a pump, so I will refill it before I head home. Should it make it home???? Will explode and send me into a guard rail??? I can stop ever so often and refill. Also, what does it take to rebuild one of these things? Anyone have a good link? Or should i take it to a Jeep mechanic and have it done?
Thanks all, and let me know if you would drive it................
Thanks Bob
