Guys,
I’ve been having issues with my passenger side rear wheel bearing on my 77. I have 31 spline axles and use set20 bearings and after a few thousand miles the same side always starts to leak. I’m starting to think the passenger side housing/end is the culprit as I had a bear of a time getting the race out last time. It’s a slow leak now but I know it’s going to have to be replaced.
I have arbs on it too and I do deal with a little diff oil from the compressor- which is sadly common with the arb set up. Do you think it’s a pressure issue? Or a end issue? I have some rear end work I need to do - replace the shackles and maybe add a stiffer torision bar to help prevent axle roll, that 408 is stout...
Any one dealt with this before? Any tips?
