As it is intended for use with the front and rear differentials, this is a system of drive. On both sides, there is a drain and fill port.
Selected User Reviews For Bar's Leaks 1816 Differential Gear Repair
It seems I bought a 2003 Land Cruiser with front differential fluid leakage (front axel seals). When changing gear fluids, I discovered the leak. Twenty-five thousand miles may not have been enough time to change the front differential fluid. A fill plug is different from the other plugs in that it has a torx head. A hex appears to have failed to get out of the way and now appears to have become inaccessible. Regardless, the liquid came out as a gelatinous black goo when it was drained. There is a large tail of metal particles in the goo on the plug. There wasn't much fluid coming out, except for a small amount of black goo. As a result of changing the fluid, I noticed a leak and an annoying whining in the diff. While this product seemed to slow the leak a little, there is still whining in the kitchen. Fairness to all, I have not driven the vehicle all that much after adding the product. So I did not determine if more miles would be required as indicated on My rating is a 4 since it has done something to reduce the leak, though I am concerned that it may not be able to adequately fix the problem with a chemical. I also worry that the damage to the differential and seal may be too severe for one to repair.
Even though I know that these quick fixes usually don't work, I tried them anyway because I had nothing to lose. Years ago when I first heard the name BARs (in the 1970s), I was convinced they could help with a radiator leak, so I decided to try them out here. My classic car has a newer rear end and, for some reason, it makes very loud metal-to-metal noises when it is under very light load, for example when cruising or I was not able to sleep because of the noise. Then I gave the recommended amount 1/2 of the bottle, and then decided to give it a go with the whole bottle as it was going to only be a one-time attempt. a couple of short drives, we arrived at our destination after about 5 I have noticed that most of the noise has disappeared after driving 20 miles.
Although it is still too early to tell if it stops a pinon seal leak, it certainly makes the differential quieter. My first impression of the product is that it is very quiet, makes me think that you would want to use it in something that does not leak to reduce the amount of.
After using the entire bottle I did not see immediate results, but now after about 200 miles it appears to be dripping much less, so I am happy with the product. I also noticed a slight quietening of the gear noise as well.
My 2004 Ford runs perfectly after using this product.
I'm noticing that it is working according to plan. I would rate this a good price with fast delivery (post office didn't deliver on Sunday,.
A tiny drip of water did all the damage. Despite the drip, it is still very small.
My Jeep Wrangler had a front axle leak, but this did not fix it.
