put 2500 miles on my truck since the swap, went wheeling, then had the passenger side bearing and seal go out. replaced the bearing/seal, only to have it go out again after 10 miles. bought a new axle shaft, bearing/seal thinking i bent the stock one, drove it 10-15 miles to find out it had gear oil pouring out the passenger side, AGAIN. visibly, there is nothing wrong with the bearing race, seal, housing, or backing plate. to me, it seems the axleshaft trys to push out of the housing about a 1/4inch or so it seems the bearing rides on the edge of the cage, then wastes the bearing, and the seal has no contact with the race or housing. im not sure what to do, or why it keeps pushing out. any help would be appreciated as i have to use my truck for work this coming week.
