2007 Chevrolet Silverado - Rear Axle Issue - Reduced Cost Solutions

90

I'm looking for a low-cost solution to fix my Regar axle seal leakage problem. A mechanically inclined, but I don't have a lift or other tools at my home to get this done but if I had access to that I could get it done,


Status: In Design Accepting: Fabrication bids
Type / Tier: technical / bronze
Quantity: 1 pcs
Material: Metals Assembly
Design price: Payment pending
Fabrication price: Pending
Order #: 20250602162006-2705-11-0
Additional Information

Dealerships want $2200 to replace one axle seal. Most of that cost is all labor. If I had access to a shop I could do most of this work.

my question to the group is, how can I get a low-cost axle used or otherwise how difficult is it to swap out an entire rear axle versus just replacing an axle seal and possibly the axle wheel bearings and if I'm gonna go through all this and get the shop and you know get the truck on a lift. Would it be better just to do a actual vehicle lift at that time as well?

250626-CDM: ultimately, ended up replacing the following:

  1. left and right side axle seals
  2. left and right side axle bearings
  3. gear oil
  4. differential seal
  5. alternator belt
  6. ac compressor belt
  7. and motor mounts

going to be about $4K worth of work.  But at least it keeps the truck running.
