Differential leaking on 1995 Ford Explorer
I have a 1997 Explorer, 4WD. I sent in for routine maintenance and the
dealer told me about the front differential leak. They said the repair charge will be $331. Can someone briefly explain to me about the impact of this problem (such as it will damage the engine? or ???)? Is this a serious proble that has to be fixed right away? Thanks. $331 is not cheap. If it has to be done, I will get it done. Thanks. |

There are several places that the front diff can leak from... Pinion seal,
drive axle seals, case parting lines.... Therefore, I can't speak for the veracity of the repair quote. Left unattended, the unit could run dry..... Even without engaging 4WD, there can be significant damage from the lack of lube. There is a chance that the resulting cost may make engine replacement look like a walk in the park. Cars are a lot like women... leave 'em hurtin' long enough and they get real mean. "trail_blazer" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... >I have a 1997 Explorer, 4WD.
