Does a leaking drive shaft of a small car need to be replaced?
1 Answers
A leaking drive shaft of a small car needs to be replaced. Reasons for leakage: The rubber sealing ring is subjected to alternating cold and warm temperatures over time, causing the sealing ring to lose a large amount of plasticizers and softeners, leading to corrosion, aging, and hardening. Initially, it seeps oil, and gradually starts dripping oil. Over time, the sealing ring may crack. Causes and measures for leakage: Leakage is often caused by loose clamps. Tightening the screws is ineffective, as leakage will recur over time. To completely resolve this issue, the corresponding parts of the drive shaft and transfer case need to be disassembled and reassembled properly. Causes and measures for leakage: If the oil seal is damaged, replace the oil seal.
