I have had a bit of a oil leak the front axle for a time - should of done something about it before now!
Also had developed an occasional metallic rubbing noise on left side front, heard when freewheeling a slow speeds. No noise or free play in bearings when rotating wheel by hand. It didn't seem related to using the brakes and no knocking noise when on full lock so probably not CV joints.
Last week I got a set of gaskets and seals and stripped axle down. (Got from RoughTrax 4x4 - same axle as '88 to '97 LN106 Hilux)
Cleaned and checked all parts could not see any damage or wear. Fitted new seals, gaskets and trunnion bearings, repacked wheel bearings and new grease in steering knuckle and CV joint. I didn't dismantle CV joint but cleaned it with paraffin and could see no damage.
Test drive yesterday - noise still there.
What have I missed?
