They have sleeve bearings that do need light lubrication (hub grease) however

 

You just taught me something.

The bronze bushing has wear, so the shaft ist not snug anymore. This creates vibration. Did apply some grease and the rubbing/vibration stoped. How ever, its just a patch until I change de Hub. Now just have to decide to replace that just one, or buy a pair in other brand.

Warn seems to have a wider bushing? at least, seems so in the pics.

UPDATE

 

As suggested I changed the oring. Here is the picture of the area cleaned and with oring replaced. Will post new picture un about 4 weeks to see if it keeps leaking.

Nice truck! What kind of hubs are those up front?

 

Thanks!

 

The hubs are RugedRidge.. Big mistake getting those, one just went bust. Popped it open thinking it was the bearing, just to realize that they DONT have a bearing.

 

I'm on the hunt for WARN ones, do you know if they do use bearings?

UPDATE:

It was suggested that it may be the Camsahft Sensor (23731-2Y523). Will try to replace the oring firts, since sensor seems to be working fine.

Hi everyone, 

 

this is my first post here. I bought my Pathy last February ('02 SE Gold 100,000km/60,000 miles). I have learned a lot from this comunity, and feel that have I not read all the info in here, may have busted the car long ago, specially regarding the power valves screws fix and the IACV gasket replacement.

 

Now I'm having some minor details. Oil consumption is about 1quart every 5,000km. Seems that I have pinpointed the leak, but I really haven't found any other post with a similar issue. I really don't know what the name of the part is, where the oil leak is, but I attach some pics to see if anyone can help me.

 

I'm guessing that I just need to replace the screw gaskets (hopefully), but just need to check with the expterst here first.
