Wheel bearings

Hiya people just a quick one, my half shaft oil seal has been leaking but i cant feel any play in the wheel bearing. I have replaced the king pin bearings and oil seal but its still leaking, i was just woundering should there be up and down float on the half shaft when the freewheeling hubs are removed.
Thanks mick

i have the same problem. Im thinking of replacing the half shaft next. I would be interested to see if you can come up with a solution

I seem to have solved the problem so far I've done 100 miles with no leaks, where was before I would do 10 miles then the jimny would be marking its territory. What I have done this time was bought a genuine seal from my local Suzuki garage, this seal was made from a much softer rubber and also was a much tighter fit over the half shaft. Hopefully the jimny will remain leak free.

Your first post was a bit confusing. Which end of the car was leaking. The front or the rear?

Not real sure whats confusing? Only one end of the rig has king pins, an thats the front....

That is true. The half shaft term had me thinking rear for some reason.

Do you remember who made the first seal which did not seal properly?
