I assume thru the rear cover? Remove cover and check for spider gear shaft pin being broke.While in there of course inspect all gears but pin most prone

What you doing with this vehicle driving over a mountain every day ?? if they keep leaking then remove them and drill a small hole about two and half centimetres from the top of the piston and then thread the hole and make a small bolt with a metal flat washer with a rubber one under that ,then refill shocker with oil and refit ,you may have to push the piston in to get the oil in though but not on every type ,anyway refit shockers ,then when vehicle statrs to bounce again just refill with oil in situ ,so you dont need to buy new ones all the time just refill them ,easy just like the good old cars 40 yrs ago .
if the seal (s) is leaking you may have a bad bearing... to change.. remove the rear end cover, reach in pull the c clip on left or rt side. pull the axel out the side, use bearing puller to pull the old bearing, install new replacement bearing seal, put in axel, replace clip, reinstall rear cover, sealing properly, fill with rear gear lube to level of fill hole. get a chiltons manual for pictures and more detailed help.
No not both sides. The rear end of your car has a normal standared rear axel. it has many seals but if the ones at the wheel hubs on the outside of the axel behind the tires are leaking it would only show on one side or the other. Also most leaks in this area is due to a bad wheel bearing.
You will have to remove the rear end plate off of the back of the rear end. Then turn the carrier untill you see a big silver pin that goes through the spider gears. Those will be 4 small gears in the rear end carrier. If you look at the right side of the carrier were the pin goes through it you will see a small bolt head, That bolt goes through the carrier and holds the pin in place. Remove that bolt then reach up in the rear end housing and push the pin towards you untill it comes out. ( DO NOT TURN ANYTHING AFTER YOU REMOVE THE PIN) are the spider gears will fall out.
Now get someone to push the axel in while you are looking at the 4 small gears in the housing, when they push the axel in a C-clip will fall off the end of the axel and into the rear end, You will see it fall out. Then just pull the axel out.
When you put the axel back in, push it all the way in then slide the c-clip over the end of the axel and then pull out on axel and that will hold the clip in place untill you put the big long pin back in the carrier. I hope you understand, just watch what you are doing. GOOD LUCK.
This Rear Axel Has A BAD Rep For Failure and Mostly Wheel Bearingd Go First ,Then By the time they go Its too Late to Save the Whole Diff I Spent 2 Days LOOKING for a Replacement for a Customer. You May Get Lucky and JUST NEED WHEEL BEARINGS, FLUID LEVEL MUST be up To FILL HOLE PLUG.
P0442 means you have a small leak in your EVAP System. your can try replacing the Gas cap since it's the easiest thing to do and reset the check engine light with a scanner. If the check engine light came back on then your going to have to go though all the Vacuum line in the EVAP system and connections. The other thing too is the service engine light should turn off when the problem is addressed and it may take up to three start ups to clear.
Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help,
Recap, change the gas cap and inspect all the hose and connection's to the EVAP system.
have you replaced the bleeder screws? and the expansion tank cap they both have O-rings that compress and will fail over time also check the hose at the top of the exp tank it also has o-rings inside it
I can't see a problem with the converter, but if your in one of the states that does emissions testing it might be a problem as it most likely would leak where its clamped. The best thing to do is get it all on and try to find someone to weld it for you. As far as axel seals, if there bolt in axels unbolt pull out and use the end of the axel to pop out the old seal, and just tap the new seal in carefuly. seals around $ 10.00. Break kleen will clean up break shoes and drumb. Need more help just ask.
