Over high mileage, or when running oversized mud tires, the bearing elements naturally suffer from fatigue. A failing rear wheel bearing typically introduces itself through a persistent, low-pitched cyclical roaring or grinding noise from the rear corner that changes pitch with vehicle speed, or a visible puddle of differential fluid coating the inside of your rear brake shoes due to a compromised seal. If ignored, a blown axle seal will quickly ruin your brake linings and can lead to catastrophic axle shaft walk-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThis original equipment manufacturer (OEM) master service package supplies everything needed to properly press-rebuild one rear axle shaft.
