There Is a part on my front differential that cracked and is leaking oil. It looks like a housing. If you get under the truck its on the Passenger side, on the right side of the differential and the left side of my CV axle. (its connecting these two parts) Does anyone know what this part is called or how much this costs to replace?

 

Are you referring to the axle housing?

 

Yeah I think so, is there a specific name for it, or just the housing

 

A pictures worth a thousand words

 

Believe me if I had one I would put one up.

 

Sounds like your talking about the housing extension to me. Long tube with a bushing on the top?

 

That's it! Whats the damage to buy one of those

 

Easier to buy a complete diff than just the extension housing.

 

Yeah just search Craigslist, when I hit my front diff on a rock and put a hole in the cover I picked up a complete diff with 2 good cv shafts (always handy to have around if you 4x4) for 100$

 

Make sure you get one with teh same gear ratio as the one you're replacing. Otherwise you'll tear up your transfer case.
