Anyone having this issue with spirited driving?

My bumper was coated but the diff was recently filled, perhaps over filled.. I have not had time to get it on a lift....currently on a trip. Looking at the cover from underneath there does not appear to be a leak so trying to find out how my bumper got covered.

What all is required to replace the front pinion seal? I need to order the parts to fix it up since it is leaking from the front now where the driveshaft inserts.

I was getting a vibration so it might have been the crush collar that let go causing the vibration that led to the front seal blowing.

That nut holds onto your pinion gear. Its not quite that easy.

What isn't that easy?

I ordered up the Motive 8.8 gear install kit with bearings, FTBR differential mounts and RATEC solid shim instead of the crush collar.
