Axles, Suspension, and funny noises.
Photos would help a lot. But as others have said, with the TTB axle there's really no way to be leaking gear oil at the hubs. Gear oil is sealed in the pumpkin by seals at each opening for the shafts. Could, however, be grease slinging out of the hub from any number of places. Photos. And I...- Prospect62
