Ashcroft axles won't seal after 2 tries. No options.
Hey all, 2004 d2 with 3" lift, ashcroft heavy duty half shafts and cv joints, and lockers. After the lockers ere a few years old I brought them in for a regear and adjustment to the local shop. Axles appeared to be sealed fine before service. They did the diff work and sent it back to me and within a week most of the diff fluid has leaked out of both front axles seals. I returned it, they did it again with genuine seals, and now same result. Leaking out of the axle ends. Now they say they have done everything they know how to do, and good luck. They refunded the repair hours and seal cost, to their credit. But now, I have an unrepairable, undrivable rover. This is considered the place to go for repairs near me.
I know there are a few threads about axle seals not working, but I haven't found a solution. They measured the seals and the flange placement and everything was in spec. Alignment was all correct.
Where do I go from here?
The other Rover repair place said they will do it for $250 an hour but wouldn't guarantee the work. That doesn't sound reasonable.
