Hey guys I was looking to see what I need due to differential oil getting into my wheel bearing what kit will I need to stop this from happening I have no idea on what I should be purchasing .... Do I get a wheel bearing kit will this have the gasket and all that stuff to stop that problem or does it fall into the swivel hub kit I don't have a clue on the differences as you can tell I probably not even making sense I'm that unsure off lol thanks guys all the help will be good .......

I think its the bearing kit but not 100% I'm sure someone will confirm however if funds permit.. Couldn't Hirt to do the swivel hub while your at it and replace diff oil at the same time while its apart.

X 2 with MT why not give the entire front end a birthday with new bearings, seals and fluids

You have more then 1 seal leaking.

The axle seal behind the cv - must be leaking to let diff oil into the cv. -

The grease seal in front of the cv

And the rear wheel bearing grease seal.

How long have you had the problem - is the cv noisy when in 4wd?. Do you have wheel wobbles?

Depending on how long the oil has been present - you might be looking at a wheel bearing kit, a king bearing kit and a CV. - ouch

To test -

CV - noisy in 4wd - clicking noise
Wheel bearing noise

jack the front wheel - grub the tyre at 12 - 6 puch backwards and forwards - movement - suspect king bearings - (can also be wheel bearing). Now hold the try at 3 & 9 push backwards and forwards - movement - loose or staffed wheel bearings.

Buy the combined king and wheel bearing kit, it's cheaper!

I got mine from bursons as I could return what I did not use

Swivel hub rebuild kit combined with a Wheel Bearing kit will have a complete front end rebuild. All seals and all bearings.

Terrain Tamer are a good brand. Replace the lot if your getting busy. Don't fit half the kit! Fit it all.

This is a bargain though and includes the swivel hub kit and the wheel bearings. You will require Grease and Rags and about 10 hours
