Man when it rains, it pours. I replaced my coil springs because i could not get my camber to adjust(3deg in each side). so i said to hell with it and got leveling springs, by the way nice improvement to her looks. After installing the springs and doing the alignment all was well, or at least i thought. Tonight i was under the front again replacing the sway bar bushings, just for good measure. I noticed that i had gear oil on the ground. upon further inspection it appeared to be comming from the driverside axle.... what gives? Could my putting the taller springs in there have any affect on the seal? I don't see how it could being that the whole unit drops down when replacing the springs. Or is it something that the alignment shop may have done? I.E. adjusting the wheel bearing? or hell i don't know what is involved in replacing this seal, or is it a seal at all? Any help is freatly appreciated.
