Has anyone had any issues were there front axle seal starts leaking after they put on a lift kit. I just installed a 3" lift kit on a Daihatsu and now the front axle seal is leaking. Any Suggestions
take it off because it is binding your cv boots. the only way to put a 3inch spacer on the front is if you shim down the front diff. if you dont take them off you will experience cv failure
take off the 3" and put on a 2" and you should be fine. or keep the 3" in the back and take off the 3" kit on front & put on new coil springs in the front witch will give you a 1.5-2" lift. and give you a much nicer ride.
Like the other guys said, you need to shim the front end, or cut your lift down to less than 3". With a 2.75" lift on my Hijet, the axle doesn't leak and the cv joints do not bind up when the suspension is fully extended. However, my passenger strut hits the cv shaft...I'm in the process of shimming the axle and the suspension crossmember...that's in another thread.
