Two problems related to axle shaft seal have been reported for the 1998 Toyota T100. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Axle Shaft Seal problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2000

The left rear axle was spraying oil onto the left rear wheel well and brake assembly while driving. Vehicle was towed to the dealer, who resealed the axle. Within 100 miles the problem recurred.

2 Axle Shaft Seal problem

Failure Date: 02/14/1998

Twice I have had to replace the rear axel seals due to them leaking. When I had the rear axel seals replaced I have also had to replace the rear brakes due to the oil getting on the brakes. I discovered where the seals were all but gone when I had my tires replaced. I was told that I did not have any rear brakes due to so much oil leaking on the brakes. I live in the mountains of nc and I would have lost my brakes if I was hauling anything down the mountains.
