Thread: A few jobs I have backed up to do

I guess depends on whether I go land rover or aftermarket brand?

Mine is the same driver side as well some one here will probably correct me but as far as I'm aware if it's weeping from hub you have to replace hub if not it's the o ring seal

yes that was my understanding. I think from what I have read, you can determine if it’s the hub as it will be leaking through the middle of it or a combination of oil and grease if it’s the hub.

But from what I have read, it seems most of the time it is the hub and not the oring. I was going to pull my disc off to see if I can determine which it is.

I also read to check your diff breather isn’t blocked. So I will do that too.
