[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1763339, member: 35543"] I would be surprised if the differential is not severely worn and damaged due to only one axle being engaged. When one axle is turning and the other is not, the differential side gear on the engaged side will be spinning at wheel speed, along with the pinions. The opposite side gear remains stationary. These gears are only designed to accommodate for wheel speed differences when turning, and not for one side spinning at road speed while the other remains stationary. When the side gears wear, the axle will exhibit radial movement, which destroys the axle seal and causes an oil leak. As far as the IWE replacement, it is critical that the Ford published service procedure be followed. I’ve seen far too many repeat repairs due to improper installation. The wheel hub nut (axle nut) must also be replaced as well, they are not reusable once removed. [/QUOTE]
