Well my 2010 made it 49K pass. Side leak. Replacing it tomorrow. If the shit comes back like it did for everyone else I'm moving over to the FJ. Spent enough good money in this JK like its crack.

Just saying

I have one thats leaking but I dont think its a flaw in the seal but the fact that I broke passenger axle, borrowed a axle to run till I could afford a new one. Installed the new axle but forgot the dust shield. Reinstalled the axle with the dust shield. All the removing and installing of axles is what I believe killed it.

Has anyone experienced with better seals or bigger ones? There has to be a reason why they are failing?
