2003 exployer eddie bower
Owned this exployer and gave it to my dauther when the started having children ( little safer car than they had). Recently had transmission issue and had it rebuilt. After the rebuild, they noticed a rotation roar on the driver side. My first thought was the bearing/hub essembly. Change that. Second tear down, replaced cv axle and seal. When pulling axle and I have always had rear end oil come out. No oil. Topped off differential and still have roar. I suspect rear end damage from low oil. Help
 






Welcome to the forum. Sounds like there might be some damage to the bearings in the diff. How long was the truck driven like that with no oil?
 






I can't say there wasn't oil in the diff. Not sure what the capacity of the diff. is. Only took 10 oz to top off. Only questioned because of replacement of the other parts. Can't be too much on that side that would roar unless it's universal joint for the transfer.
