Hi There,

I have a JB SYE on My 99 TJ with a LA kit. 5.5"

Recently I went offroading for the first time with the new suspension. I have had the SYE on for about 6 months. Now it seems to be leaking a lot from the output shaft.... I just redid the seals for the bell housing and the covers. It still leaked a little, but it seemed to start much worse after offroading.

Any advice?

TIA

I am pretty sure that I didn't tear the output shaft seal. My star rubber washer was a little beat up though...

It's entirely possible that your output shaft it a little bit out of true and is quickly wearing the seal. Did you run a lift w/o an SYE for a while?

Yes, but I replaced the output shaft when I did the SYE.

my sye kit seemed sensitive to proper sealing of the o/p seal. i just had to make sure i had a good amount of sealant around the seal before i installed it. i used locktite gasket sealant. seemed to work so far...

Are you positive it's leaking around the seals and not through the yoke?

No, Hard to tell. I am call JB and asking them if they will mail me a new star washer....

See if that helps...
