So around 5k miles I had the right rear axle and seal replaced on warranty for leaking a bit over a week ago at around 13k miles I took it back as it was leaking again. Today they confirmed the actual housing was bent leaving a gap allowing differential fluid to leak and they're going to replace the entire dana 44. I encourage anyone who has had this issue to follow through with your dealership to look deeper into this instead of them just replacing the seal/inner axle and having you on your way just to come back again in a couple of months. Cheers

Mine happened at 14500. Took it to Prosper, TX CDJR and no questions asked they ordered it and swapped it out a couple of days later. 1000 miles later no other leaks

Im in the prcocess of having my second housing replaced. First 2 times the replaced the axle and the 3rd time they replaced the housing used the same axles I had, this time they are getting a housing from FCA that has the axles already installed. ?‍♂
