Posi-traction and leaky rear wheel bearing

[woodmaster58]

Hi everyone

I have an 06 TJ LJ with posi traction rear axle, besides the noise from the clutch pack (which am ignoring) I have a persistent right rear seal leak
Twice I have replaced the seal and it still drips

Is a worn clutch pack causing the axle seal to leak?
Thanks

A bent axle and/or bad bearing that allows the axle to wobble can cause the seal to go bad.

Or it's not still leaking and you are seeing residual oil left in the axel tube from the original leak running out. It takes a while unless you pulled a rag through during your previous repair.

It's the rear axle and the seals are at the flange end of axle tube.

Thanks for the reply, I had the bearing replaced by my mechanic so don't really know what he did but I certainty trust him.
where is the bearing any, at the wheel or closer to the diff.
thanks

The bearing is at the wheel end of axle tube in the rear.
