ASSALAMO ALAIKUM SIR
i wanted to ask ur input for corolla 1978 problem i am having. I hope my writing wont be too long and appreciate ur advice on this matter. Please be as descriptive as possible as my knowledge about cars is zero!
1. GEAR SEAL
i took it to one machanic to repair speedometer for that he went under car and did some work in "HAANDI" as he said near rear wheels.
after this next day there was pool of oil about 3 feet long under my car. in emergency i got mechanic from nearby he searched told me its gear oil no problem he went under and tigthened one bolt he said its just bolt was not tight.
but after that again this morning there is oil dropped under my car its very small compared to before maybe half foot in diameter. today i got another guy to look at it he said seal is leak. and i will replace it.
QUESTION:
A is it possible to get seal for this model toyota in lahore?
B do mechanic have to remove seal and take it along to shop because number of seal is written on it OR can he use any seal of toyoa 70s model on it?
PROBLEM 2: WHEEL JAM
after this speedometer work next day also rear right wheel (rear wheel drive) got jammed/locked. called mechanic from nearby he took of tire, opened brake disc and cleaned it then replace it and wheel worked fine for 5 min then locked again but thanks Allah i managed to park it back safely.
then i asked mechanic again, he touched inside of the rear right tire and his hand was black. he said "AXLE SEAL" is broken and differential oil is leaking u need to replace it.
QUESTION
C is the reason axel seal broken also cause of wheel jam or was dirt/dust the only reason?
D what other thing i should check to address this issue? as first mechanic said it must be dirt after it wheel got free now fluid is leaking is there any other items to verify?
PROBLEM AND QUESTION E: under car I can see its quite dry/rusty, mechanic advised GREASE the AXLE CROSS and SPRAY OIL under the car.
Please guide in this regard?
THANK YOU and JAZAK ALLAH for your input and time.
