    "poop" in front differential

    good news and bad news The good news is that I was able to thoroughly clean and rebuild the front axle. Green goop was everwhere except the wheel bearings. Gear oil + knuckle grease = gross goop! Cleaning it all out was really time consuming. Now for the bad news...since it gets dark...

    "poop" in front differential

    OK, I'm listening to all the info here, and am intrigued by the possibility that I could postpone this project until it's warmer, or at least until I have a little less work stuff pressing. I received the parts from Dan today, so it's a time thing only. If I clean out the front diff...

    "poop" in front differential

    "poop" in front differential

    Thanks Beowolf, Your answer is pretty much what I was expecting. It seemed like grease, and that meant it had to come from the hubs. It may be that it was sold for this reason - if so, anything that I should look for that might be especially worn? Are the axle hub seals hard to replace...

    "poop" in front differential

    Per advice from this board, I 've been replacing all the fluids in my recently purchased fzj80 (94, with 200,000 miles). From the info I have, it apprears to have been extremely well maintained. All fluids looked/smelled good. Looks new. However, the front differntial really threw me for a...
