Default Sometimes we gotta tell em how to fix it...

Got the JKU into the shop, and left a note about the bearings possibly eating the seal. (drum roll.......) YUP! The bearing was "Badly Pitted" and needed replacement and was the cause for the second axle seal to go bad. For anyone else having problems with Dana 30 seals, tell the shop to look at the bearings....might save a future headache.
