Another compounding issue with these axles is dealerships are touting the EZ lube system and most new owners have not a clue.

These axles come pre assembled with bare minimum grease packed into bearings.

The EZ lube method is not used during assembly. This can be verified by yanking off a hub and you will see there is no geese in the cavity well

Then owner just pumps in a few strokes and thinks it’s good to go for 12K miles.
