I know this subject has already been addressed in several other posts over the last couple of years, but I don't seem to be getting the results I need.
I have a 2004 wrx, 5 spd tranny with male axle shafts. I ordered and received the correct axles from FFR when I ordered my kit. My car is virtually finished expect for the seals leaking.
I am aware of the difference between left and right seals, left being drivers side, right being passenger side.
I have replaced both axle seals twice and they leak. I thought I may have knicked the first ones when I installed the axles, so went and ordered and used Colonel Reds installers to replace the other ones. They worked well and I thought I had it fixed, but after a drive around the block I have oil dripping off the bottom of the tranny. I am considering pulling the axles again and checking their diameter with the originals, thinking that maybe they are different size? Any thoughts from you pros????
