Check your axle seal!!! - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

2015 - 2020 Ford F150 - Check your axle seal!!! - My front passenger side axle seal is leaking. Actually I personally know 4 other raptors are also leaking. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f150forum.com-vbulletin/920x2000/wechatimg217_28b61d62201582cd1d6d104933cf30c355e3973d.jpeg

I guess I should have done a better search before posting but since this isn‘t a thing I didn’t expect to need to. Unfortuantely no one has an after market fix, just keep replacing the seal. My raptor now has 258 miles on it since the a dealer has fixed it for the 4th time and it’s leaking again.

I know it’s all my fault for putting 37” tires on. Hopefully I get a new raptor with fords 37” package which changes nothing except ride height. I guess ford feels their parts are up to 37” tires but only if Ford does it?

 

[Nimrod]

I can see where the bigger spare tire area and the 1” shock shaft would make a huge difference with the CV joints, front diff seals and gearing being the same as the 35”.
That spare tire space alone must really save those cv joints!

Maybe it’s the after market Fox dsc shocks I put on up front? That could for sure blow seals in a couple hundred miles of driving to the store and the gym. Dang it, I really did it this time!

PS. A 37” KM3 on a 17” rim still fits in the spare tire space without having the increased spare tire area.

Is this a joke?

Guy you are grasping at straws.

You obviously didn’t even read the threads you’re posting. One of your sources wasn’t even a leak at all. It was a residual oil drip from the last oil change. Another was a Ranger, which shares zero parts with F-150 differentials. One was a damaged axle boot throwing grease. Another was a pinion seal leak.

You need to grow up and accept responsibility for your own issues. You modified your truck and induced the issue. That’s not the manufacturer’s responsibility to fix.

 

[Nimrod]

Did YOU read the whole thread? Dealer blamed it on residual but it was gear oil NOT motor oil.
The puddles of smelly gear oil in my drive way are not straws.

What’s even better is the dealer that last took a swing at this issue sold the same exact upper a arms that I have and the shock spacer to run 37” tires. I’m not just making hay here.

 

[Nimrod]

What will you say when someone rolls in here with this problem on the factory 37” package Cause that’s gonna happen.

Then it will probably get fixed at the dealer.
