Does anyone know what the OEM specification is for the surface of the right rear CV axle that rotates against the seal?
At the parts store, I was measuring ~46 mm (+/- 0.5mm) for the mating surface on two different "remanufactured" axles.
Rebuilt my differential, which included all new seals. Also replaced the right rear CV axle with a remanufactured one, and now it's leaking. Took it to a transmission shop, and they too replaced the seal a 2nd time, but the axle is still leaking. My guess is that the remanufactured axle is machined along the surface that rotates against the axle seal, such that seal and axle are not mating well.
