2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

April 15, 2015

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that had a passenger side axle seal leak. I replaced both seals and also replaced the passenger side cv shaft as well. The new seal on the passenger side is leaking again any ideas as to why?

Sure do. The question is what caused the first seals to go bad in the first place. Being it is a 2002 I think they are not old enough to dry rot under normal circumstances. This leaves the axle bearings and or axles. You will need to examine the axle shaft where the seal rides and see if a grove has been worn in it. If so, the axle may need to be replaced or a “Speedi-Sleeve” used to make up the difference in clearance.
