Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 FORD EXPLORER THAT HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR END. THERE IS A CONSTANT LEAK, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THAT CAN'T EVER SEEM TO BE FIXED. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE AXLE SEALS AND THEY REPLACED THEM. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY HUB WHICH THEY REPLACED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT A GROOVE HAD BEEN WORN IN THE AXLE AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE LEAK. LESS THEN A YEAR LATER THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REAR END IS LEAKING. *JB
