rear end seal
 

Well I verified this weekend what Ive been suspecting for awhile.. My rear end is leaking. I replaced this seal way back in auto class when I was a senior in high school. Up until now when I had my posi and gears put in, I know it still leaked a little but not as much as it it now.

My question is, how much would it ideally cost to get it replaced? Id rather have it done by somewhere now to have the work blamed on someone else if it continues to leak. If anything, what will the parts cost? If I remember right it was like $20 for gear oil and the seal, if even that. And I did this with a guy in like an hour when I was 17 or 18... So a professional should be able to knock this out in no time.

Anyone have a ballpark of costs?

arm or leg?

Shouldnt cost over a $100. I'd do it for a 'friend' for $45.

shouldn't cost a ton depends on the shop too or find someone who will moonlight it for ya those guys are great

whats the technical term for that? A rear pinion seal?

Yes. Its right in front of the pinion bearing, so its called the Pinion Seal.

Err wait. Are you talking about the area where the yolk is (to the driveshaft) thats leaking? Or are you talking about the differential cover?

Yes, sorry, where the driveshaft hits the rear end.

Then yes, you are correct.

ahahah needed to fix that leaky rear end! In all seriousness, is it your driveline seal?

in all seriousness, its listed like 4 posts up.
