huevo83 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi. I have modified my MJ to a ZJ brake conversion. This was done 2 years ago... however i have had problems since the beginning. My problem is that it leaks oil from right side... at some point it leaked from both sides... however my major problem is right side... i have changed bearings and seals several times with no change on right side at all... i am at the point to rechange to drums or a new differential... do anybody have an advice or opinion on what i should do or what i might be doing wrong. PD i am using the spacer needed from teraflex to fill the space. So i got that covered. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Make sure your axle vent isn't clogged shut. If an axle can't vent, it will leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I have a D44 and it's a nipple threaded into the left axle tube with a vent hose that goes up and exits in the frame. But it really could be anywhere. It's just a tube that vents to the atmosphere so the axle won't build up pressure and force oil out the axle seals. Make sure it's clear and you can blow through it. If you don't have a vent, install one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
