front axle leaking, dealer repaired once and leaking again, 67000 km's dealer happy to tell me its off warranty, so have to fix myself, any one out there done this? any how to's? can axles be pulled put without taking steering knuckle out or apart? thanks in advance viewers!!

 

Sounds like a bent axle.

 

owned truck since new, no vibration, never off road, never hit anything not even pot hole, don't think so

 

How long ago did the dealer fix it? If it was recent, it could be residual oil laying in the axle tubes, which hasn't finished running out yet- that happens. Or, perhaps they damaged the new seals when they put the axles back in.
I would assume that you can pull the axle out without taking the outer knuckle off.

 

the seal was installed a year ago and was dry, but wet and dripping again

 

Sounds like damaged seals. It can happen.
Even if the truck is out of warranty,they should stand behind the work they did only a year ago.

 

Work was done 8 months ago and the dealer that I had it repaired at said your truck is off warranty now for powertrian and the dealer its self has a pathetic 3 month warranty from date of repair. Still asked if i wanted to book it in for repair..... and I said no thanks, I wont give you a 2nd chance to screw it up again.

 

I guess its time for a service manual, I can do the work myself, just don't think I should be doing this repair after dropping 50K+ on the truck..... Well enough crying do it myself, get er done, do it right then if it leaks I can myself
LOL!!!

 

my dodge dealer will not warranty warranty work. they said this is how all dealers work. funny thing is my wifes xterra was getting out of warranty work done on a warranty repair. they said it was impossible so i showed them the paperwork, they didnt have much to say after that and just blamed dodge. frustrating.
