Rear axle seal
OK, found grease inside my rear wheel today so I dropped it off at the dealership. I have a cracked rear axle seal. I know I'm posting here rather than the suspensions forum. Anyone experience this issue on your 1LE?

Dealership said they are backed up. So no telling how long it will be sitting there.

Please keep me posted on the diagnosis and let me know if further assistance is needed. I'm unsure if this a recall concern, but I can research it if you send me the VIN. We're here if you need us! William R. Chevrolet Customer Care

I had the exact same issue, driver side rear wheel. It took 3 trips to get it fixed, the dealership told me they were directed by GM to not only replace the boot but also the 1/2 shaft. They didn't elaborate but I got the impression it was a known problem since GM stepped in when they were just going to replace the boot. No leaks since.

Update, have to replace the axle shaft. Evidently they decided rather than rebuild it they ordered a new one. Because of the low milage(3000) the figured it wouldn't be a good idea. So they will try to have a new one overnighted from Michigan. Doesn't look good to have it back for the weekend.

Just picked up my car from the dealership. They replaced the axle and all is good now. For those that was wondering about the build date, it was 03/13.
