07 X with just over 70k, 33" tires with spacers and 3" lift. Front pass seal just started leaking. What are people paying to have this replaced and do most of you have them do the other side as well while they are in there? What does that cost? Thanks.

08 x JKU. I had a rear fail around 15,000 dealer replaced under warranty no mods. a front around 25,000 dealer replaced under warranty and around 65,000 the dealership noticed both fronts a tiny bit wet and they decided to monitor it until it became an actual leak. at my 5 year inspection about 82,000 miles they replaced both front seals under warranty.

38000 km and both fronts leaking. 265/75/16 tires with procomp 7069 backspaced rims. Mild offroading like slow trails and a few hills. One or two deeper puddles. Also ripped my axle breather off not sure when or how, could this be the culprit? Water in the diff?

My axles seals are quirky. I had my passenger front start leaking after a u-joint replacement. Had the dealership fix it. It started leaking again - brought it back to dealer and said they would look to replace the axle shaft, at my cost. I'm stubborn so I pulled the axle to see if it was damaged. I put the axle back in, and the leak stopped. It's been bone dry for about a year now.
I noticed my drivers rear seal leaking later last fall. I've been shopping around for parts (and a press) to do it myself, but I kinda stalled on it. The leak has let up quite a bit. Not an urgent problem at this point.
132,xxx miles. 07.

My 08 JKU Rears were replaced last month @ 43k, I have an extended warrany and only paid a $50 deductible so I didn't bitch. If it wasn't I'd just replace them myself since I'm a mechanic.
